My story: Reflections on being (yikes!) elderly . . .
EIGHTY. Eight zero. A number that sounds . . . elderly.
OK, I need to own that because, as we all know, the alternative is worse. Reflecting on life at this milestone can take a lot of different paths. I can think of things I regret, and things I’m grateful for.
Looking back, I am very grateful that I grew up when I did, in the 1950s and ’60s, when childhood was innocent and worries were few.
