Being in my eighties, I smiled when reading your article about being in your forties. I remember similar throughts when I was in my forties. For the record, being in my eighties is the easiest and happiest decade so far. Fewer responsibilities, way more freedom. A while ago it occurred to me that nobody needs me. I'm happy that my most precious people still seem to want me around. But being neither needed nor dependent felt surprisingly liberating!
