Although I lack the eloquence of the OP (and of Dylan Thomas, for that matter...), I share many of the same feelings. I'm "only" 73, but I take comfort in who I am, what I am, what I've accomplished, what I'm still capable of, etc. In my younger years, I worried excessively about my career, our future security, and so on; I no longer have those concerns, and it's a nice feeling.
And of course, I enjoy & appreciate our children & their families, their happiness & successes, and look forward to more of the same from our grandchildren.
