It is a privilege to grow old. Not everyone gets to do so. At 75, I know I am an outlier, and I hold every moment of my existence from this day forward to be a precious one and I try to live a life of gratitude.
I ran across an article on HuffPost, by Jillian Wilson, which gives the following advice on how to increase your longevity. I am happy to announce that I practice all these things regularly and they have made life immeasurably better.
5 Things You Can Do to Increase Your Longevity
- Move your body regularly
- Engage in social activity
- Reduce stress
- Challenge your brain
- Make time for the things you enjoy

Well said, Benn – at 70 I also have a perspective from which I look differently at my life and experience it differently.

All perfectly straightforward. 😊
However, trying to improve my French is challenging me so much that I may just live forever.
