Mental Approach - still think I have a handle on the mental part go aging! But, must admit, within the past three years it has been a constant focus! Most of the issues are the new challenges - first heart issues, then irregular heart beats, skin cancer and now liver issues! It is VERY important to stay POSITIVE and enjoy life - dates with wife, grandkids, the boys & their wires, etc!! Golf, trail walking, & Packer Games!!!!
