Good advice

People told me to plan for old age.  It was all about money.  Save, save, save, and invest.

They told me to take care of my teeth and my skin so I wouldn't lose one, or get skin cancer and sun spots on the other.

I was told to use it, or lose it when it came to muscles and cardiovascular health.

Meditation was touted as the fountain of youth.

Sustainable interests and hobbies were high on the list.

My body becomes less tolerant of everything as I age.  New medicines all seem to have adverse side effects.  Muscles, joints and bones are more fragile.  

Life feels more intense, the thrill of a roller coaster is not necessary.  Surviving the things I love, intact, is a real trip -- sometimes.

I know it is necessary to live in the present, but heeding the suggestions of those who have gone before me good is advice.  I wish I had done more of it.
