Text: Did you make any New Year resolutions? If not, why not? Listen if you might be old one day. Logo: Learning how to be old.

I asked about New Year resolutions (if any) from strangers from 24 to 50. I find that we all do this thing (or don’t do it) our own way. Your goals may be big or small, general or specific, and you may or may not achieve them. That’s fine! New Year is an excellent time to think about your life and what you might like to change. That’s valuable, regardless of whether you manage to achieve those changes. Yours is not the unexamined life that Socrates so despised.

But I forgot to ask old people! If you’re nearly 70s or older, have you noticed changes in your New Year resolutions as you age? Are your aims and values different? Please do tell!
