Today I have reached my 85th Birthday and this Robert Browning poem sums it all up on such a beautiful day:
PIPPA'S SONG
The Years at the Spring
And Days at the morn
Mornings at seven
The hill-side's dew pearled
The larks on the wing
The snails on the thorn
God's in His Heaven -
All's right with the world
Also a few words"
To your enemy - forgiveness
To an opponent - tolerance
To a friend - Your heart
To a customer - service
To All - Charity
To Every Child - a good example
To YOURSELF - Respect
Have a good day everyone I am off soon to have a birthday lunch with friends. Thank You God

Thank you all - you are so kind.

As someone whose name I cannot recall at this moment said "old age is fifteen years older than I presently am" I can go along with that.
