Chronic illnesses can affect outlook of a long lifespan and aging. I am considered young for my conditions, it is what it is. So, I think about what that all means. So, I focus on quality of life more than age, because if i thought about my age and longevity I’d be depressed and it would taint my outlook on life in general. I try to spend more time with family. Focus on what is important in life and try to not sweat the small stuff (easily said not easily done), With al the illness, its hard to think I’ll have a long “healthy” life. As a matter of fact I’m looking into insurance to help in the future if I last. Aging as an unhealthy person is very challenging whereas if i were healthier id have a different outlet. I’m talking about funeral arrangements because it’s on my mind and I’d like my wishes carried out. I digress. So, live love laugh to the best of ability. Keep positive to best ability. Work at it daily moment by moment. < 3
