What a sobering read. I’m 45, and similarly, I have heard of two people my age who passed on this year.

Really not the season in life to take good health for granted anymore.

I think you have got all the angles covered. I would add on that it’s wise to let go of untempered ambition and just soak in the normalcy of our mundane lives. We don’t need our lives to measure up to some grandiose ideal before we allow ourselves to feel contented 😌

Happy birthday!
