I saw the following piece on Facebook recently. Not sure who wrote it, but it made me think. Does it resonate with you?

Here are the 3 Hard Truths and 7 Rules I’ve learned:
The Truths:
Your kids can’t be your everything. They are busy surviving their own lives. They love you, but they can’t fill your loneliness. That’s your job.
Your health is not guaranteed. When you’re young, your body is a given. When you’re old, it’s a project. Take care of it.
No one is coming to save you. Financial dignity is up to you. Even small savings equal freedom.
The 7 Rules for Age 70+:
Pay your future self. You owe yourself comfort.
Treat your body like a best friend. Walk. Stretch. Hydrate.
Build your own joy. Don't wait for an invitation to be happy.
Don't surrender to "old." Strength draws people in; complaints push them away.
Release yesterday. It’s already done. Let it go.
Guard your peace. Not every fight is worth your energy.
Learn one new thing daily. Curiosity is the anti-aging serum for the brain.
The verdict? You have two choices: Shrink into the shadows or step into the light. I choose the light. I might be older, but I’m not done yet. Not even close.

Stay safe and well, dear friends, wherever you happen to be,
