How to age gracefully

How to age gracefully into your senior years;

1. Don’t talk about your illnesses and surgeries unless someone asks. Then keep it short.

2. Spend time around young people. You were there once, and they need to be inflicted with your wisdom.

3. Treat your brain right. Even if it turns on you, it needs stimulation, ideation and pleasure.

4. No matter what your body looks like, enjoy being naked as much as you can.

5. Confront death by thinking about all the joys life has given you.

6. Make sure that all you have worked for goes for some good.

7. Be considerate to all your relatives, but spend time with the ones who love you.

8. Watch your weight. At 70+ you shouldn’t be eating for two.

9. Have fun to the best of your ability.

10. Have a good sense of humor and a good friend you can laugh with about yourselves.
