We have some age here- personally, I'm proud to have made my mama a liar- she didn't think I'd make it past 21- well, 52 years after that 
I've lived longer than she did- 12 years longer, so far.
I've lived longer than she did- 12 years longer, so far.I remember my grandmother being in a Nursing Home when she was in her 90's- that was sad. She knew my brother, but, not me. There is a man where I live now who is 91- I don't want to be like him- he moves really slow and unsure- and still drives 
pretty sure his drivers license is expired since we have to get them re-newed on our B'day- the fiasco I went through trying to get mine renewed caused the "I'm not goin to do anything I don't want to" promise to me self to kick in- I ain't goin to jump through the hoops demanded. Period.

Period. Anyway, I'm proud to have made it this long and be in not really bad shape, all things considered. I have 5 or 6 stents, but, oh well- I love me coffee and cigarettes <<<<<< shameless self promotion 
I asked, or told, depending on perspective, the Dr last time I had one put in, that maybe he (and others) should be tryin to figure out how/why I'm still alive instead of tellin me what they think I should be doin to make them feel good- about themself.
I truly believe as long as me mind works well, so too, will me body- I rarely have negative thoughts- I started that exercise 30+ years ago- I work at bein happy- nothin worth havin is easy- I refrain from using the word hate- hate is a powerful and all consuming emotion and easy to succumb to in a negative thought process way-
And, I chase guitars and try to play and write and sing and make you tube videos- life is a journey, not a destination- when I go, oh well- if it was 15 min ago, oh well- I played the hand I was dealt- IDC what their rules say- I don't do drugs or alcohol, but I do think of the line in the Willie song- there's more old drunks than there are old Dr's- and this one- I'm quite and I'm loud, I'm gatherin a crowd, I like gravy, about half off the wall and I learned it all in the Navy-
play at playin- fake it til you make it- so many reasons to get up- and way too many excuses for not.
