I have enjoyed reading your post, Laney. I agree with you, Fonda’s speech was inspiring. She also changed my opinion about aging and old age. I have always been scared of making the transition to old age. Aging is a natural process that every living human has to endure. However, it should be approached as a positive change. As Fonda stated, humans are living longer on average than their ancestors from two generations ago. Therefore, we are living longer and spending more time in old age than in the past. Of course, our physical capabilities may decline as we age, but our spirits should not be affected with this natural decline that is related to the process of aging. Personally, I do not fear the process of aging more than the possibility
