"Physically, I feel probably as good as..." - Quote by Barack Obama
Physically, I feel probably as good as I've ever felt. And I've got as much energy as I ever did. But what you feel after eight years - and I think you'd feel this no matter what, but anytime you have a big transition, it gets magnified - is time passes.

“Can one generation bind another, and all others, in succession forever? I think not. The Creator has made the earth for the living, not the dead.
