People Get Older. Ever Feel Older? You will.

Ruminations for the passages of time:

Exercise
Make sure you're happy
Stand tall, sit tall, have good posture
Exercise
If you wear glasses, wear modern ones
Dress with a point of view, but not like you're nineteen (unless you are nineteen)
Exercise
Don't dig food out of your teeth in public, no matter how much your gums recede.
Relax
Enjoy now
Don't be a drama queen
Spend time with people you like
Exercise
Absorb that sunset or red-leafing tree or waterscape for at least twenty seconds at a time, and take the time often
Be able to say, when it's time, that you loved your life
You'll be fine
