It's so funny how we identify with certain ages, mind and body. I love this post. I personally find so much more peace as I age in my mind and even spirit (body ... eh, that's a different story, but there has to be balance). I have this on my wall, which some think is morbid, but I find it remarkably helpful to remind myself how precious each day is: https://waitbutwhy.com/2014/05/life-weeks.html

I love how once again, different lives, different journeys, different instances of "time & space' but yet, here we are arriving, in this moment, in this same wave length. I totally resonate with this after coming back from my eldest daughter & son's (in law) wedding, with all four of my adult kids, some grandkids, elder siblings, and "new" family & friends in one beautiful backyard on a Wisco (WI) thunderstorm night still under New Moon energies, travels to & fro, 2 marriage journey memories with their particular (by chance & choice) last dance song played on the dance floor, wrapping it all up on my 58th year, on a flight back from the Midwest, feeling Great Lakes homesick, it hit me! It all flashed both past my outer and inner eye; and I knew & felt what I was bearing witness to... all this Life and how I have loved it all! It felt a bit like the movie Everything, Everywhere, All At Once, if you know that reference? What will the next decades or years look like? It has taken 3 days to intregrate this experience and I am so thankful. With open-ended questions which Life requests of me much more these days, I do know for sure that I am committed to loving Life with all I Am and All to BE. Beyond that, not sure what else really matters that much. Thanks David.
Aging is interesting! I enjoyed your take on it--even though, to me, you are still a youngster. Always enjoy your insights. I feel better now than I did at 50, (20 years ago) and you have inspired me to start walking again. Thanks!

That's an amazing chart to study. Wow. It brings it all in focus, doesn't it? BTW - I feel 40 on good days...but others, well, I'm definitely 67. :)

Wonderful comment and observations. I'm glad I could help evoke some of this for you. :)
