1. I'm 75 and things are beginning to happen - as they always do as we age

I'm also very independent and want to remain that way. But, I also try to face reality. My solution is to 'make a plan' as much as I can do that, for any assistance or services I may need. My goal is to age in place in my own little condo until the end. Will that actually happen? I don't know. In my case, my eyesight may be the deal breaker, but I carry on, making my plan and hoping my heart will give out before my eyesight does.

All we can do is give it our best. Make a plan, and live our best lives as long as possible.

Wishing you and your friend all the best.
