It's a lot - I've far outlasted my expectations - up to the age of sixty, I don't think I ever thought I'd see seventy. So, seventy-one, which I reached at 1:50am this morning, seems like a real treat.
I am not concerned much with my mortality (or maybe I would have more accurately been able to predict my longevity). I am not afraid of dying (something brought home to me while I waited for three days in a hospital bed for my quintuple bypass). Of course, I am not looking forward to dying, either.
My just-concluded seventieth was a weird year, of course, for me and everyone else on the planet. The best things I can say about it were that, a) I survived it, and 2) I did a Spanish lesson every single day of it.

If there were ever a time to deal with serious heart problems, though, it was probably the best time - all the things I would have missed out on while recovering were missed out on by everybody.
Which makes this an unusually hopeful birthday - things are going to get better this year than they were - the bar is too low to not to be stepped over.
I start my 71st orbit in good health, with almost no restrictions on my diet or activities.
I take none of it for granted, and today I feel I have more to be grateful for, just for continuing to show up.
