Thank you for responding. We may not know the exact time when we are not able to take care of ourselves, but in my opinion I need to do today whatever I can to stay as healthy as I can, physically and mentally, and am praying that I’m able to make good decisions when needed.
Have I said I pray a lot? I do.
Take care, I wish you well.

Margot-
We can become a bit frenzied when we think about what may happen in our unknown futures. That is not good. If we become desperate to age "perfectly" with everything under control, we can lose our current enjoyment of life.
We can behave responsibly with great joy, and that is very self-empowering. I took the long way through the woods this morning. Seeing all the trees and plants coming up from the earth made me very grateful and I enjoyed the use/exercise of my body.
