I've reached the stage where I think "I can do this for 5 more years" or "probably another 10 years of this left" or even "I can't do that any more". <br /><br />My body has begun the shutting down process, and although I'm quite fit and able as a 49 YO, it constantly reminds me that things will only get weaker and more painful as life continues. <br /><br />Maybe it helps I was introduced to death early on, with my maternal grand mother when I was about 7 or 8, grandfather's second wife when I was 16, then various others I've known (including a teenage suicide as the result of sexual abuse). To me, it's fine to die at a good age, or when life means continual pain, and when the time comes I want to embrace it and for my children, friends and loved ones to be happy for me that I can pass on to new life.Toni Ertlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00191085694671148065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3520413.post-9570509803772649302010-10-09T01:31:19.221-06:002010-10-09T01:31:19.221-06:00Sorry...I was being facetious; may have been lost ...Sorry...I was being facetious; may have been lost in translation.Johannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01196781072472556963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3520413.post-369575574265452162010-10-08T19:34:56.492-06:002010-10-08T19:34:56.492-06:00But then God calls.

People who when I was small, I could never imagine them dying eventually died. So the reality is that it happens to the best of us.<br /><br />Silly games like these I think bring a sense of shock reality to the whole thing.<br /><br />Do I find it depressing or encouraging? <br /><br />I suppose at this point it's more or less it is what it is and the less I know of the actual date, the better.<br /><br />But when it says 29 years left, well dang that's not so much yet. I've got things to do, projects to complete, grand babies and great grand babies to hold, places to see. I still have to find out what I want to be when I grow up.Randall Friesenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04112919973262687369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3520413.post-16255181988388501702010-10-08T07:06:40.089-06:002010-10-08T07:06:40.089-06:00They have clearly heard about the longevity in my ...They have clearly heard about the longevity in my family...<br /><br />You have 55 years left to live.<br />You will die in 2065 at age 91.<br />You are beating the average lifespan for someone your age by 10 years.<br />To put it another way, you have the health of a 26 year old woman.<br />You have lived 40% of your life already.Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01371068129682252996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3520413.post-45368712489734655022010-10-08T05:14:49.077-06:002010-10-08T05:14:49.077-06:00Not sure I want to make it to 88.
