Your thoughts resonate with my own experience. In truth what I really miss is the unfettered joy that I experienced in my earlier life. I guess its part of the price we pay for wisdom, the cost of sound judgement. Sound judgement follows from the consideration of all things.
Whereas in our more youthful times we lived in the moment and basked under a single the bright star, whereas now we "paddle" under light of many a faded star. The light is still there, but it's from many sources now and the shadows and boarders are mixed and merged. In our youth those boarders were both stark and sharp.
A certainty that things are great and that things will get even better belongs to our youth. Consideration and balance belongs to our new status.... creaking, greying, receding Middle age.
On the upside, life is beautiful and it's there too be lived.
