Yes I know it has been eight days since my last blog entry.
No nothing is wrong and no I haven’t stopped blogging. Just didn’t have anything to say.
I am now 124 days past being 2/3 of a century old and there are only 33 years between me and my stated goal of reaching 100. I don’t remember what age I started saying that I would become a centenarian, but I was still in elementary school. Why 100? Because I wanted to see what the world would look like in 100 years, that seeming like such an unimaginably stretch of time to me back then and I was convinced there would be flying cars and folks living on the moon.
Of course, I was assuming that I would be hale and hearty up until the day that I died, and that I would be able to afford the amenities of life! Odds are pretty stacked against me, not only genetics [no woman in my family made it past 88] but social – I am not a member of the elite who can afford the kind of upkeep my body needs whether it is dental or drugs. While I live in a country that has the best healthcare available and I have access to all the latest advances, who can afford it all without being independently wealthy? And I blithely assumed that I would be retired, and that I would be traveling far and wide with my spouse…. Ah the innocence and ignorance of youth when you have been lucky enough to be brought up without knowing want!
