Almost 79 and yes, I think about how few years I likely have left. My hope is to stay as well and mobile as possible for however many years I have left on my personal calendar. I belong to a gym and go every day unless I am walking with friends. We are re-writing our wills to leave charitable donations and are establishing contingent beneficiaries on some of our bank accounts. I've given some jewelry to my second generation nieces and passed on some heirlooms. I'm generous with local charities and with friends who might need a helping hand. I take friends out for lunch. All of these activities give me happiness.

I keep reminding myself that when my time is up, I won't care as I will be gone. My goal is to stay well and active and enjoy myself for the rest of my life. I don't see the value of worrying about when the end is coming. I might have 2 months or 20 years left and I'm not wasting any of that time.
