Is there anything good about getting old?

I'm 3 weeks from turning 70  ..  so far mid life has been wonderful .. and everyday is a new gift.

I'll answer and let you know in about 25 years ..  when I start to get old.

The question was and is: Is there anything new you are looking forward to?

Sure, it's nice to see another sunrise, maybe have a nice meal and see friend.

But is there anything in life which is better when you are 70 and not 50?

To get a little more specific

Yes,,  great marriage to a wonderful Thai woman ( almost  17 years ) 

being retired .. a beautiful house and land all paid for

no debt    "NO taxes" ( ( includes Thailand )  oh  except for land tax..    34 baht 

the US government sends me a nice check every month ....

and without a doubt..  healthier now than I was 20 years ago
