enjoyments at eighty

In old age I do not find any positive desire as such. Desire for enjoyments and pleasures are deliberately brought in or invoked for avoiding or counteracting discomforts and pains than for their own sake. There is nothing new in enjoyments and pleasures. Or it is just to go along with a habit.
But experiment with my own mind is a sort of pleasure or joy. Everything there is what I have not noticed or experienced so far.
Stillness of mind can not yet ward of physical pain or in full the mental discomfort arising from physical pain. Now at this age all my discomforts seem arise from physical imbalance. The mental ones are being slowly overcome automatically without much effort.
