How do you deal with aging?

When I look at my moments of worry or fear, it is always fear of "The Unknown" versus my physical and mental strength, which I realize have begun to decline in some ways (even as they become more clear and capable in other ways).

But when I think of the role of "The Unknown" in my life, I see that for by far "The Unknown" has brought me opportunities, happiness, friendship and love. The richness of my life is a gift from the unknown. I can drop the "Looming Capitals" and just let it be unknown until we meet.

I can face the unknown with a positive anticipation. I know that my life will be finished some day. Sometimes I practice imagining it. I hope I can take that moment to look back with a smile for all that the unknown has given me.

We'll see someday!
