I think I was afraid of aging awhile ago, but serious medical conditions cured that thought. For a woman, there is a freedom in just simply not caring anymore. It's also kind of freeing to start to part with things. I try to find places where they will be appreciated.
That being said, the world is still a very beautiful place. I love your idea of traveling, because it is so necessary to stay in a place to truly savor it. I hope you find a way to arrange it.
Happy birthday Tosh! From my perspective of eighty six and still in love with life even as it fades into some kind of eternal trip that everyone must take. Quality is more important than quantity. The inscription on Gregory Corso’s grave at Shelly’s feet says it all. To paraphrase, the spirit is a stream that moves toward, and is not afraid of the ocean. ..
A healthy rumination of the past, feet planted firmly in the now, and a view of the future - sounds like a nice place to be. I’m 72, a degree in conceptual art, blah, blah blah … makes for an interesting take on life. I recently saw The Cleveland Orchestra perform The Rite of Spring. The piece concluded with the sold-out audience on it’s feet, screaming, with 9 ovations, approaching adult pandemonium. I felt like a 14 year old seeing the Beatles at Shea Stadium. The great moments can hit anytime. Don’t sweat it, you’re looking good.
Best wishes on your day!

Happy Birthday Tosh!! ... whenever it was... Great quote by Serge Gainsbourg which I shall steal.
