When I was a couple of weeks short of my 70th birthday, I started thinking about my mother's mother who lived to be a hundred and her mother who lived to be 102, and my father who lived to be 90 longer than anyone we had ever heard of in his family.
00:00:14.994 --> 00:00:20.065
I began to think that maybe our generation could be the first to routinely live to be 100.
00:00:20.785 --> 00:00:25.225
When I talked about this at family dinner, one night, my granddaughter, who was five said,
00:00:25.765 --> 00:00:28.524
What are you going to do for the next 30 years, grandpa

There is a marketplace these days of prescriptions and instructions, highlighting, in graphic detail, all of the probable hardships of growing old on our bodies, minds, and spirits, or a message that we should slow down or possibly pretend that we're not aging at all.
00:01:15.295 --> 00:01:30.730
And possibly messages of how to grow old gracefully, but then so many in the format of prescriptions, instructions scientific, and impersonal but what we want to know how you're feeling, what you're thinking about as you grow older.
