85 here and learning a lot from all of you (with age comes wisdom if you hang around with the right people.) While I continue to be shocked when I consider what (my favorite depressed Irish poet) Philip Larkin calls "the only end of age" I am also beginning to accept it (as if I have a choice.) Never religious, I discovered insight-oriented mindfulness meditation about 15 years ago and find it enormously helpful now. Learning to live in the moment, accept impermanence as a fact of life, and continuing to learn the practice, now only virtually, has been a game-changer for me. All these tips help, but how could we not be thinking about our imminent demise? Everyone I know who's open with me says the same and BTW, since funeral attending is my main social activity these days, hard not to be aware of what's coming ... talking about it with others helps me... and ironic laughter. Too serious not to laugh ...
