One of the most rewarding things about aging is seeing the results of your life actions. Your family line and contributions to fields are more visible.
It does take longer to do some things. It’s okay to rest when you feel like it. You can’t keep going with some activities with the same vigor and duration as you once did.
You may find that you’re more willing to let other people make mistakes and learn from them instead of intervening.
