I’m Almost 50 And Will Work Forever: Am I Afraid of Developing Dementia?
<p>I don’t think of myself as old. That said, I am approaching 50.</p>
<p>I often feel like a child in a near 50-year old’s body. Sometimes I look at myself in the mirror and, say, holy shit, I can’t believe I’m almost 50. Add to that the fact that I have a daughter who will turn 20 this year and it all almost feels surreal.</p>
<p>While I don’t consider myself old, relatively speaking I am.</p>
<p>Relative to my daughter. Relative to how old I was at age 30, 40 and even 45. Relative to lots of things.</p>
<p>I make this distinction because, on one hand, age is but a number and I don’t consider myself old. This is key to staying excited and engaged and ensuring act two of your life is full of new experiences, big plans and fun adventures.</p>
