It's not the amount of time you have left, it's what you do with it.
So you've lived more time than you've got left. What you've lived so far is a gift; there was never a guarantee that you'd make it this far.
Continue with your life as you will and can. If you find that you can't swing an axe all day anymore, buy a chainsaw and keep going.
You don't quit because you get old, you get old because you quit.
I'll be 62 in December and I'll be home from a six-months gig in Japan working for Disney. I'm the oldest musician here and I'm having a ball. I hope to come back in the Spring and when Disney Hong Kong opens in five years, I hope there's a job for me there.
So don't let it get you down. There's life in the old boy yet.
