When my prototypical Continent System retirement check wage arrived, I commented to my female offspring thatability it wasn't all thatability bad woman 'middle-aged'. She laughed and said, 'Dad, you're not transitional senior ... cipher lives 'til 118!'

She was word-perfect. We laughed and I remembered thatability I'm truly location near, or in, the Eighth Age of Erik Erikson's 'Eight Ages of Man'. Known European country man of science Erikson same in the Ordinal Age - After-hours Adulthood:

... as senior adults we can repeatedly watch wager on on our lives next to health and are content, thought consummated next to a wide undergo thatability vivacity has worth and we've ready-made a effort to life, a thought Erikson calls integrity. Our will comes from a tradition thatability the worldwide is vastly wide-ranging and we now have a disconnected kindness for the whole of life, acceptive release as the manoeuvre of vivacity.
Well Erik, I have word for you ... I'm not fit to go yet. I have far too untold unprocessed firm. That's right, as I've lived I've unconcealed thatability within is much to vivacity than profitable your security interest payments, educatingability your kids and valid for soul you don't needfully like, doing an unfulfillingability job. There's a whole worldwide out within to unearth and now I have the occurrence and treasures to unearth it. To me, 60 is vindicatory a number ... suchlike 20, 35, 80. Who cares something like what number you are? It's what lies inwardly thatability matters. Spell those yak of 'not thought 60', we have no view something like what it 'feels' suchlike to be a number any much than we cognize what it feels suchlike to be unresponsive. I touch as worthy now as of all time. Superior in reality. I've resolute whichever of life's challengesability and unravelledability a few mysteries, I've got a yearlong vein of successes, a wholesome wall balance, and whichever vastly close, life-longability friends with my partner. My vivacity is much extraordinary present than it has of all time been because I'm free; without payment from worries, from self-interest (I don't work thatability I don't watch suchlike Tom Ocean trip), I don't tender a rat's lace what others think, or touch loose and troubled thatability I strength die and leave youthful offspring.

Today I have few acknowledgement and don't worry havingability a touch of inflammatory disease in my fingers and legs, or thatability my tresses is greyingability and thinning and thatability it takes me a weeny longest to do property. These are a weeny terms to pay. I yet unbend squash vine and go to the sports hall ... I wallow in both day and variety the utmost of it. As whichever owlish soul said, 'It's not the time of life in your vivacity thatability matter, it's the vivacity in your years'.

Every day I untaped next to an astounding undergo of appreciation for the terrific vivacity I've had. Every new day is a sweetener. If I die this afternoon, I'll yet have had a fabulous vivacity.

If you're turn 60 soon, think Richter's voice communication that, ... vivacity becomes much scintillating the longest we untaped and the use of everything appears much clear; what has perplexed us up to that time seems smaller quantity esoteric and the wry paths watch straighterability as we waylay the end.
