Two stories on 60 Minutes that got me thinking

[mopinko]

2. i plan to live to be 100.

i have my health challenges, but at 66, i'm pretty spry, and, honestly, function better than i did when i was younger. no kids to worry about. no hubs. no money worries. doin my own thing.
most of my family lived into their 80's and 90's.
my grandfather dropped dead in line for confession at 96.

and ya know, this is what i learned as a hospice volunteer- everybody thinks if they got a debilitating illness, say als or ms, or even stage 4 cancer, that they would check out.
but you know what? when you do get that news, only a tiny percentage of ppl actually do check out. most want every day they can get.
