Awesome article. Love the gratitude man. It is one of the finer emotions. At 43 here is my experience: -I can't stay awake as long as I used to either. Nor do I want to anymore. -My body doesn't hurt all the time... I have heard this from others but it hasn't happened to me. Still, I can't do what I used to without it really wiping me out and requiring rest. And, I'm not as fast as I used to be. But, I find I am still as strong as ever... I think even stronger. -I certainly know more, but feel I don't think as fast as I did 15 years ago. I'm at peace with that. One offsets the other for me. -I'm more jaded and cynical about life but, paradoxically more patient. What used to be unforgivable sins in others are just not as grating anymore. At the same time I expect the worst from others more than I used to I believe. -Ditto on appreciation. Didn't used to have it as much as now. Maybe because I expect the worst and am pleasantly surprised when it doesn't show up. -I don't think I'm wise... not going to claim that, but I do feel I have more control over my life and my reaction to events. I'm certainly less impetus. I wouldn't think this will be the outcome for everyone. YMMV.
