Where Do You See Yourself in Ten Years?

I fully intend to Warri... the funny thing is, before the O/H left, I had been saying the same thing to him for a few years..how we must start thriving instead of surving etc because the time will fly by so much quicker than even the last few years... little did I know I would be treading this road alone.. :(

Don't forget though, same rules apply. You can still thrive flying solo (y)
 
Well in 10 years I’ll be 80 and Ron 87. We’ll probably have traded in the bike for a trike, but it will still be a Harley! 🏍️ We’ll still be mudding on the side-by-side, tooling around in the convertible, and enjoying life as much as we do now!

I intend to still be working as long as my clients don’t kick the bucket! I’ll still be dancing, he’ll still be a gear head buying and selling and playing on various motorized things.

We’ll be done with all the renovations on the house so we’ll have more time to play!!

One month from septuagenarian status I could still be walking the dogs, reading,, rising early, working in my garden a few days a week, visiting with friends in their gardens and with virtual friends on the internet .. or else composted and actually part of a garden. What would be great would be if the pandemic would just wither away before I do.

12 years I'll be 80... that's a very sobering thought.. 12 years will fly by ...:oops:

Women rarely admit their age; men rarely act it. If he's got any sense though, he will always remembers a woman’s birthday, but never her age.

When you’re old, getting lucky is walking into a room and remembering exactly why you’re there and if I can still do that ten years from now.......................result!

Where will I be ten years from now? Well if I'm not in The Grim Reaper's diary, I shall still be at work.

I hope I'll still be alive (66 now so would be 76). I wish I will still be here at this retirement community because I think I'd have some good friends by then and there are lots of things to do etc, but my daughter has informed me that when she has kids I have to go back to Nebraska. I'm pretty bummed by that idea.

Don't do it! When I've made a point of living near my daughter, we hardly saw each other anyway. Just my opinion.
 
I hoped when I wrote this thread it would be lighthearted and for the most part, it is. Thanks.
We're never too old to look forward.
There are possibilities ahead even small ones.
The future includes the afterlife and all the wonderful possibilities that holds too!
I'm glad I'm on this journey with all you fine folks!

It’s your time to live your life how you want. Just say no to your daughter!

In some places I think it's easier. Anyone who's interested can check how it's done in their country, state, or province.

Our university stopped taking donations during covid. That would suck, right?....you're family's all prepared, and maybe there's no Plan B, or maybe you don't have anyone so you wind up in the state cemetery. That's not so bad, but....
 
There is a book in a bookcase beside my wife bought a while back called Dancing at the River's Edge by Brill & Lockshin that I've never opened. Has anyone else read it or have another title to recommend? I don't find death shocking but it is probably a good idea to make peace with our mortality. Damned good deal anyway you slice it.

Anyone else read the book On Being Mortal by Atul Gawande? I found it very practical and can't recommend it highly enough.
