Being over 90 can be viewed from two perspectives. It can be looked at as an accomplishment – to have reached this milestone alive and in relatively healthy condition. Or it can be viewed as an entry to what may be the final leg of life’s journey.
I choose to look at this quarter of my life as an opportunity to expand my knowledge into the world of the unknown. There are many fields of potential interest which I know of but not know much about. There are many other fields that I know not of at all.
Why leave these unknown fields unplowed? But how to unearth them? The best and perhaps answer is simply to say yes to every new opportunity that beckons. Whenever you open an experiential new door other entry doors will appear. Next step – open them and proceed therein.
This fourth quarter of our lives provides an opportunity for personal enrichment. It should not be wasted on inactivity. Why relax when there is so much, much more to life that awaits?
