(15,566 posts)Enjoy the heck out of it. Each and every one of us, from the day we're born, are faced every single day with things that could happen to us. Like you, I rarely get sick. I've always felt like I must have a tough immune system, but then I'm a pretty tough cookie in most ways. I wouldn't be still standing if I hadn't been.
Life is for living. Risk is a part of life. I'm 70 and I feel I've had a really good life and lived it to the fullest. I've pretty much done what I set out to do in life and I have two wonderful, extremely successful adult children that I feel comfortable knowing that if I left this world tomorrow they'd be just fine. My affairs are in order also. I live a rather minimalist life - my choice, and they know exactly what my wishes are, what I own, and where all the important papers are kept.
I doubt I'll kick off any time soon, but there are some things we have no control over and trying to cover all the contingencies would be exhausting mentally.
I have a vacation planned in a couple weeks also and I have no intention of not going. I hope you go and have an amazing time and experiences/memories you'll have for the rest of your life.
