What were your parents doing at your age?
My parents were very secretive about their ages. They never told me how old they were. Imagine my horror when sneaking through my Father’s private papers, I discovered him to be at least 15 years older than I thought him to be. He looked so much younger than his years.
Our children have always known their parent’s ages.
I am a few days away from turning 78. At that age, both my parents had retired to a small country town, after having sold the family farm.
I too am retired but live in Darwin the capital city of the Northern Territory. It’s not as quiet by any stretch of the imagination, as it would have been for my parents and their retirement.
It kind of reminds me of the fact that there are four phases to life.
You get born.
You grow up.
You become old.
You go dead.
Like my parents, I spent quite a short time young and I am in the midst of a long time old.
EDUCATION, A LIFE FORCE 
I deduce that you are in the “getting old” phase (which, in my opinion, is that of many) ☺️
Yes, you are right. I am but a few days away from being 8 years north of the threescore and ten marker.
You are not alone and you must be proud of yourself, because you have not lived in vain, but doing good: you just have to continue doing it, trusting in God, who is always at your side… And forget about all those who have always had you envied or who don’t love you: they only want to destroy what you are, that is, a human person who loves. You must not allow this, pray and from this you will know that God loves you: if your enemy does not triumph over you… (it is a passage from the Bible: Ps. 41).
