“Losing your mind is vastly preferable to losing your nerve” made me laugh, but it also carries the whole piece. What you’re really buying isn’t a condo. It’s proximity to the people and moments that make life feel fully inhabited. Seven minutes from laughter, paint, friendship, and one more chair at the table sounds like a beautiful reason to take the risk.

You must be kidding! Larry and I just bought the apt next door to us- Is it ok to say "great minds think alike"? and ps: Somewhere I heard "The three most important ingredients of resilient aging: take risks, mourn and good genes." pss- I'm 83! I guess we are never to old to....?? who knows what's next?
