WE ARE BLESSED

We are blessed to live in Australia, but I suspect we are somewhat extravagant about our birthright. Over the following few entries, I thought to outline what we might do differently and better. This does not come from an expert, but rather from an aging Australian-born and raised citizen whose next ‘major’ birthday centenary will take me to the threescore and ten—getting closer by the year.

Older adults see things differently, possibly more reflectively than the young. We have experienced what is yet to unfold for them, albeit in a different world. The constant is that we all have youth and then grow older. 

I worry about this country and will share some thoughts about it.

I  am revisiting and extending my observations in 2026. Having just turned 80 gives me licence to revisit these issues.
