Indeed ‘health’ vs ‘life’ span was something I became aware of, and gave consideration to when I finished work earlier than anticipated. When looking ahead to all of the years I was facing without ‘traditional’ work, it was important for me to realize that not all of those years would be active years versus years when I’m alive. It does make the remaining length of my life feel less daunting on days when I wonder what to do with myself now that I’m not working! And there’s a bit of seize the day in there too :)
