Time and aging

Ever since my cancer diagnosis I have been much more aware of the value of time and the need to use what is available to me. Yesterday I was offered a senior discount in a store where I occasionally shop. I confess that my first reaction was not to say "Thank you." but to wonder if I now looked much older than I did two months ago. Then today I was part of a conversation about the various seniors' discounts available in my community.

I'm glad to have stumbled on this article from the New York Times as an antidote to the sudden focus on aging.
