this is great--only someone who has lived, or has an old soul, would say these things...the person that is asking what is your question is -- clueless. Sometimes this is a forum for information, for sharing, for education...not always a question...hopefully many will read this and take it to heart. Sometimes you can't learn from others you just have to live it and if you are blessed you will----I also want to Thank you.

Age 70----life's lessons
1] Waking up in the morning is a gift
2] Getting out of bed is a chore
3] Savoring that first sip of that first cup of coffe in the morning is a delight
4] Lying down at night next to the lady who has been your reason for living for the last forty five years is, indeed, heaven.
