I wasn't worried about getting older until I turned 50. I got a call that they found something on my labs and I had an appointment with an oncologist the next day. The good news... it was not cancer but just a condition that needs to be watched. The bad news... it shook my confidence and my body has been falling apart since that time. I am now afraid of my body. Almost everytime I get it checked out something isn't what I want it to be.

I look at Harrison Ford and think I can make it to 80 in good shape. And truth be told I work with people over 80 years old and it is as if they are 22. They don't need help walking, moving etc.

I am starting to wonder if we might make it longer than previous generations. It is a fact that people have noticed on social media that people of this generation look younger. They have guessed it could be due to a reduction in smoking, drinking, and war. Plus we have far more medical advances... so it could be possible that my generation could live 10 years longer then previous ones.
