Old Age Life

Am one of the younger residents at this senior housing building. Lately I’ve been watching some of the other residents. Some sit in the common area talking most of the day. Others sit outside smoking when weather permits. They seem to stay here all day with no company other than the other residents. What happened to making plans, studying, going somewhere? What happened to dreaming? Is this what old age is for them, just waiting to die? When I reach my 80’s I’ll still have a long list of living to do. I’m going out of here kicking and screaming. There is too much yet to accomplish and experience. Every step of life is for living and I plan to live it until the last second.
