My purpose is to have a dang good time, regardless of what the heck is happening around me...my goal is to die of exhaustion..til then, the accelerator of life will be pinned to the floor.

A friend and neighbor passed away 3 years ago at the age of 94. He was 5'2 135 lbs. Tail gunner during WWII. Retired from the R.R. After 30 years, then worked as a concrete finisher for 20 years. Then he went to work for a funeral home washing and cleaning their cars. In his 80's that became too much for him. But since he had the work ethic most of his generation had, the funeral home didn't want to lose him, they moved him inside. He vacuumed and kept the place in order. Last few years he worked his hours were 5 AM -9:30 AM. Spring, summer and fall he would would be outside working in his yard--- shirtless, pair of shorts until dinner time.
His wife died unexpectedly when he was 90 years old. His daughter forced him to sell everything and move to a retirement/ assisted living facility, he had a nice apt. $4000 a month it should have been nicer. No more work, stopped driving---- 4 years of doing nothing he died at 94 years old.
There isnt a doubt that if his wife hadn't died, he would still be a neighbor and working in his yard.

My grandfather passed away last week at 92. He was in his back yard cutting firewood. I pray I have his strength in age.

Shoot, I started out that way at about 10 when my dad passed away. We live to die. Yeah, it's a jaded viewpoint, especially coming from someone born in the 1980's. But that's just a fact of life. But to paraphrase and steal from a poem...Your tombstone will have 2 dates on it, separated by a dash. The dash is what matters, not the dates. The dash is what all of your family and friends will remember. They won't remember what your "purpose" was, or how "relevant" you were. They will remember you, and you them during your time. Live for the dash. Fill your life enough that people won't remember the dates on the stone, but the stories that fill the dash.

Wife and I are 73 and we are trying to keep up...
Amen to what Bassman Ia said: Like Howard always said-------"Old Age ain't for sissies, you have to be tough.
My grandfather lived until just past his 100th birthday. That man had more spunk that anyone I have ever known. He was still plowing his garden with a mule when he was 95. Caught him up on the roof fixing shingles when he was 98. He didn't always feel great, but he refused to get down and give up. His morning ritual was to get a dip of snuff, get dressed and get moving. His remedy to not feeling good was to walk outside till he felt better. Great Christian man too, which I feel contributed to his overall positive attitude and living with a purpose.

Find you a 15 year old fishing partner, I just fished the mid west rally with a youngster and we had a blast, Im 63.....we laughed about our difference of perspective on life and made fun of each other for three days.....gave me hope for the future after spending time with this young man....he's lucky too.....
But, you did make it and I'm sure made America proud. Thanks.in 1968 I didn't think I would make it another day !its all been GRAVY !!!
At 60, most days I feel like a hammer. Some days I feel like a nail.
