I feel lucky to be old for a bunch of reasons. I've always been a positive person and that lucky feeling has even gotten stronger as I get older. Not to be morbid, but my wife and I were in a horrible car accident in 2012. It took years to recover but we are both close to back to normal whatever that is! The experts say we are lucky to be alive. We had two grandkids in 2012 and we are up to 6 grandkids now. Thinking that we came literally inches from never meeting these additional 4 grandkids and watching them grow up makes both me and my wife feel lucky indeed. We try to treasure every single day.
Being in my 70s with good health and a great circle of family and friends is the best. Being retired after running in the fast lane career-wise for 50 years took some adjustment but I've now got the hang of it. I never used to take more than a week-long vacation at a time because I had this need to get back to work. Now our vacations are in the 4 to 6-week range. Not being in a hurry is the most amazing feeling to me. #feeling lucky indeed.
