How Long Will I Live? — Playing Card Reading
There is a trip you keep putting off until you have more time. You hope you will still feel like going when work finally slows down. How Long Will I Live is a free online playing card reading about reaching old age and the everyday life you hope to have then. Cards cannot predict your age at death. Their stories offer a way to think about what stops you looking after yourself and what might do you good. Consider an ordinary week at home and at work. Where do you have time of your own, and when do you agree to another favour before checking how tired you feel? There is also room to think about the people you love. They may care about you and still live far away or know little about how you spend your days. Growing old can feel most real when you wonder who would drop by with news or stay for supper. Compare what you read with your plans and the way things are in your family now. No suit sets a date for your death or guarantees a long life. Talk to a doctor if you are concerned about your health. You can discuss your hopes for later life with those close to you, even when you do not expect to retire for many years.

An ordinary week can leave little room for things that make you feel well. What could do you good and leave enough energy for both yourself and the people you love?

When to do a reading
I put off living until I retire
Your list of things to do later keeps growing. There are places you want to visit and boxes of photos you want to sort through with your family. For now, work fills the week. You wonder whether you will still have the energy for those plans when your time is finally your own.
I count the years to a family milestone
Someone mentions a family anniversary that is still years away. You work out how old you will be and imagine everyone around a big table. You want to be in that photo too. You began by talking cheerfully, but now you quietly wonder how many years are ahead of you.
I never seem to have time for myself
You have been meaning to see a doctor, but the day you set aside is busy again. You look for another free day. A colleague needs cover and a relative needs a lift. Tonight you promise yourself you will find time next week. Then you open your diary and see how full it already is.
My children live far away
Your son calls from another city and your daughter sends photos from a trip. You are glad their lives are going well. After the call, the house feels very quiet. Living far apart works while you can do everything yourself. What will it feel like when you are much older?
I want to keep living on my own terms
You like choosing what to cook and deciding when to head out. The thought of someone else taking charge of your day makes you uneasy. You hope to keep that freedom as you grow older, though it is hard to picture what you will be able to manage on your own by then.
