"I see so many possibilities how I can put even more meaning into my life"

I am almost 77 years and at first I thought "Well, what can these people teach me about living your best life?!" I am satisfied with my life, with what I have accomplished and with the heartfelt, deep relationship of 27 years with a wonderful, unique woman. Now, that she is dead I wondered what else do I want in this life? Should I resign and slowly fade away (like one of my colleagues said when I asked him in our last class reunion) or can I rev up again and take up new challenges. 

Now, after going through the Lifebook process I see so many possibilities how I can put even more meaning into my life and give to the world, my ideas, books and enlightening concepts. I have a new relationship, I do my sessions from three different countries (thanks to Zoom) and do everything necessary to stay healthy the next 23 years. And maybe I will be one of the people to show the world that it is possible to stay productive even way beyond 100.
