My husband is 84 and I am 81. I have taken care of him and everything else for years and years and he is not really computer literate, won't use a cell phone, is unable to handle any computer glitch, etc. For that reason, I pray that he will go first as he really can't handle things on his own. If that happens, I will try to wind things down and sell the house, move into an apartment and know that once my time comes and I am gone, I won't care about what I missed.

And I have tried very hard to not worry about things I can't change. There is much of the newspaper that I simply don't read as it is too depressing. And that is how I am handling aging.

For whatever reason, as I have aged I have developed an obsession with excellent quality dark chocolate. I guess that's a healthier obsession than alcohol.
