Living Life at 70 and I am faced with a whole lot of new vulnerabilities. I can pretend and behave like I have the energy of somebody much younger than me -My body reminds me that I don’t. Is the pain in my arm signaling an imminent heart attack or could the pain result from moving furniture around? ( remember I have been de-cluttering? I think I have no serious health issues. Then I read about people who  in their 60s and 70s dying. These deaths remind me that I am not invincible. I think I should get a medical check-up. Then I hear of healthy, happy people discovering  health problems on  just such a medical check-up. Then they suddenly ‘wither’ away.

Yesterday I missed a great dinner party and today i am going to miss another one. I am wondering which of the above is the cause. Suddenly I feel the need to slow down.
