Happy to be 72

This was posted by Alan Taggert today on Twitter, my feelings exactly, seize the day folks!:

“I often see old people who get really fixated on the news, frequently expressing frustration where things are headed

And I wonder: Why?

You don't have many years left. You can't control any of this & much of it likely won't impact you.

Instead, why not focus your final years on things like:

- helping others

- time w/family & friends

- enjoying nature (sunrises, etc)

- good food

- volunteering/philanthropy

- self-care

- passing on your wisdom

Why waste your last years yelling at the TV, spun up about the wider world?

Why not instead make the most of the community you live in, while you're still able to do so?

After a certain age, put all the distraction & negativity behind & focus on leaving this Earth knowing you gave & enjoyed all you could of what was around you

Just my 2 cents on a beautiful Saturday morning just begging to be well-seized”
