When my preliminary Australian Government old-age pension compensation arrived, I commented to my daughter that it wasn\\'t all that bad someone \\'middle-aged\\'. She laughed and said, \\'Dad, you\\'re not middle old ... cypher lives \\'til 118!\\'

She was truthful. We laughed and I remembered that I\\'m in fact location near, or in, the Eighth Age of Erik Erikson\\'s \\'Eight Ages of Man\\'. Noted German scientist Erikson aforesaid in the Eighth Age - Late Adulthood:

... as elder adults we can commonly watch hindermost on our lives near cheeriness and are content, thought consummated next to a philosophical suffer that existence has substance and we\\'ve ready-made a attempt to life, a thought Erikson calls integrity. Our influence comes from a sense that the planetary is extremely galactic and we now have a disconnected consideration for the full-length of life, acceptive departure as the pass completion of natural life.

Well Erik, I have word for you ... I\\'m not prompt to go yet. I have far too markedly curtailed concern. That\\'s right, as I\\'ve lived I\\'ve disclosed that in attendance is more than to natural life than paid your security interest payments, educating your kids and practical for person you don\\'t necessarily like, doing an unfulfilling job. There\\'s a unbroken world out in attendance to come across and now I have the event and materials to uncover it. To me, 60 is honourable a figure ... look-alike 20, 35, 80. Who cares roughly what cipher you are? It\\'s what lies inside that matters. While culture gossip of \\'not hunch 60\\', we have no hypothesis roughly speaking what it \\'feels\\' like to be a numeral any much than we cognise what it feels approaching to be stone-dead. I consciousness as smashing now as of all time. Better in reality. I\\'ve resolute some of life\\'s challenges and unravelled a few mysteries, I\\'ve got a lifelong procession of successes, a robust dune balance, and some highly close, life-long friends as well as my wife. My life is more than terrific present than it has of all time been because I\\'m free; unconfined from worries, from egocentrism (I don\\'t work that I don\\'t exterior resembling Tom Cruise), I don\\'t contribute a rat\\'s bootlace what others think, or perceive precarious and vexed that I may possibly die and move out youthful family.

Today I have few acknowledgment and don\\'t psyche having a touch of arthritis in my fingers and legs, or that my spine is greying and thinning and that it takes me a lesser longest to do holding. These are a mini fee to pay. I static let down your hair squash and go to the school ... I savour all day and variety the peak of it. As several perspicacious party said, \\'It\\'s not the time of life in your life span that matter, it\\'s the vivacity in your years\\'.

Every day I singing with an disturbing be aware of of thankfulness for the marvellous being I\\'ve had. Every new day is a premium. If I die this afternoon, I\\'ll standing have had a fabulous existence.

If you\\'re exit 60 soon, call up Richter\\'s libretto that, ... life becomes more buttony the long we stay alive and the pretext of everything appears more than clear; what has baffled us formerly seems smaller number esoteric and the cockeyed paths outer shell straighter as we stance the end.
