    A report from the frontlines of aging on a lucky fact: We tend to become less anxious and more satisfied with life as we become more aware of its fragility. @nytimeshttp://nyti.ms/2CeCqf6

        Thank you for sharing this insightful article. I have always felt like there is so much to learn from life experiences of elderly TAVR patients.

        I wonder if acceptance of the present influences this .. something our always striving for the next day culture pushes away?

        Wonder if this would still be true if Social Security didn’t exist? Do food insecure or seniors experiencing homelessness feel this way also?

        This is an interesting article. I wonder if this holds true when those who’ve lived almost exclusively with social media begin to enter their 80’s & 90’s...

        My grandma is in her 90s & her friends can be funny, saying things like "I'll see you for dinner tonight ... maybe." Being with people, feeling cared about, is very important. The hardest thing for her has been outliving people she loves, including her husband & 2 of her 3 kids.

        Interesting, considering the amount of antidepressants I feel like I give to my patients. I think it has to do with individual resilience rather than age.

        Bit counterintuitive. The driving reasons could be A) experience and ability to manage situations B) what's worst that can happen
