I find that this is really true. If you are happy to be alive still then you tend to be sharper mentally and it doesn't really matter what age you are. However, if you are really bonded with your mate often when they pass on you might pass on too. However, we have a neighbor who is 90 years old whose wife passed away this year and he seems to be doing fine still. He has his caregivers take him to the beach and go shopping with him because he loves getting out of his house. I think if you are happy being alive and are able to live in your home with your spouse or relatives often people live to be 90 or 100 years old and mentally fit if they are still happy to be alive. I find that most of the time I'm happy to be alive so this helps too. Writing at my blog is a nice meditation where I think about things and do a lot of research on whatever interests me. I didn't like going to school from Kindergarten to High School but i have always loved learning new things in life and I have a lot of interests. Also, I like walking my dog on the beach almost every day even during storms because often that is interesting as long as you don't get swept away in a wave or something. I like being alive and this helps me stay mentally sharp even at age 76.
