Age is taking me away from myself. Bit by bit I lose small
pieces. They fall silently away, perhaps out of concern for my wellbeing. Do
they think they won’t be noticed? Sixteen years of personal experience in ageing,
I recognize the official start at age 70, leaves me well versed in the process.
I have decided I want to be a super-ager and thrive well into the 10th decade.
I remain passionately engaged in my work – so I believe I can make this happen.
I have already notified all the major organ systems in my body of my intentions
and have requested their cooperation.
