Many experts advise us to fight the aging process. They tell us that we need a disciplined diet and a rigorous exercise regimen, and this will somehow keep us young. This to me is fighting the fundamental rules of Nature. The world does not need you to stay young. We have young people who are much more willing and able to do that job. So instead of trying to take the place of a younger, healthier person, why don't you try to find the place that has been reserved for you? You can find that place by looking at yourself and focusing on your strengths. You may not hear very well, which is Nature's way of telling you to listen more. You may not see very well, which is Nature's way of telling you not to look. You may have lost a lot of strength and speed, which is Nature's way of telling you to sit down before you kill yourself. Maybe you could even cheer somebody else on. Your memory is fading, which is Nature's way of preventing you from holding a grudge. You've spent a lot of years taking in information, which means you're in a great position to draw some conclusions on life, before life draws a conclusion on you. Sure you're getting older, but you can also get better. You just can't get younger. Step away from those roller blades. NOW. |

I have fought like hell to get to 21 and so far I am happy to just keep learning and moving along.

The scary part of aging for me is trying to NOT have too many brain cells die and slip into dementia or Alzheimer's and spend the next 20 years tied in a wheelchair in some home raving and drooling on myself. Death of brain cells is postponable by diet and exercise......so they say.

Life is a cycle........ and I fall off of bicycles so am doing my best to keep on this trail.. Know that it is impossible to keep being a "kid" but like to stay active, aroused, amused and attentive. This way I can be a part of the conversation and enjoy. The day will come when I am no longer here and feel that I will have done my best to make it a better world. (Not just because of my leaving!!!!!)  Take care Hugs Larry
