Star, Age 71
I first wrote to 70 Candles upon turning 70 and since then have enjoyed reading other’s stories. Some have been uplifting and some have been poignant. But all have grappled with the aging process.
I have been blessed with good health until June when I discovered I have a heart problem. It took me by surprise and shook me to my core. My family has a history of longevity so I assumed living to 90+ would be my fate. Now I am not so sure… I am trying to put this in perspective, not worry and take each day as a gift.
At our age, we need to live for each moment and not procrastinate about taking that trip, spending time with family and friends, or learning something new.
