I just turned 82 November 11 on veterans day and a veteran. I thank God for every breath I take. And I realize not everyone will have the privilege of aging we have had. I am honored and grateful for having the privilege of aging.
Happy Thanksgiving to all and may God continue to bless you.

@captboat Thank you for your service, and I believe a good attitude helps with our aging journey and you definitely have one! 😊 Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

@capt (ain-of-the) boat -- that is astounding ... to see old age as "privilege."
I am sure the goddesses and gods of old-age must be dancing like a drunk Rasputin on a table, exultant with your adulation.
And I only thought you make good jokes! Haha,ha,

I hear you, my fellow-human,.. I've always introduced myself as "I am in my 65th year as soon as I completed 64 years, for so many years. I mean if u r not buying beer as a teenager, all the seller wants to know is u r At Least 18 revolutions-of-the-sun old.

In all other situations, let's BRAG Our Age. I am sooo glad to find at least ONE person who'd agree with me.
Salute! @captboat

@captboat I like what you wrote here…I turned 81 in September and always so amazed and grateful I lived this long.. Every morning I wake up I thank God for another day… I mediate more and it brings me Grace and acceptance…
