Enjoyment Quote by T. Colin Campbell

“The enjoyment of life, especially the second half of life, is greatly compromised if we can’t see, if we can’t think, if our kidneys don’t work, or if our bones are broken or fragile. I, for one, hope that I am able to fully enjoy not only the time in the present, but also the time in the future…” quote by T. Colin Campbell

I, for one, hope that I am able to fully enjoy not only the time in the present, but also the time in the future, with good health and independence.””
