None of which are life threatening so they may slow me at times but I wont stop until I can not go any further.

It's great to be alive, beats the alternatives...
Wake up every morning also feeling like crap. I could take meds that could help change things but I do not. The body does not always heal itself either. I could have a new shoulder installed and a new wrist installed and surgery on my knees and my eyes and maybe that would help a bit, but as of right now, I will not.

There are times when the alternative is much preferred and I have no problems with that since I believe the alternative is simply an eternal void. So peaceful.

BTW, healthy people are dying young every day. Health does not guarantee longevity.
