I look at the pictures from then, and I look in the mirror now, and I know it’s happening.  The important thing to me is not to act too old too fast without totally denying the aging process.

The control center is the mind, so I know it’s important to keep my mind sharp.  Just as physical exercise keeps the body tuned to peak performance, mental exercise will do the same for the mind.  The nature of my work helps me with that, as I constantly read and search for a wide range of information on numerous subjects, in addition to a constant study of the Bible.  I want to be a forward thinker, and not a backward thinker.  I want to have a future perspective, always stretching myself with new goals.

While there are all kinds of products designed to cover up one’s aging, and while I have no criticism of those who go that route, I choose to look natural, even if means looking my age.  I want to be in good physical condition, and I think I am.  I checked the other day just to make sure I can still jump over a four foot chain link fence, and I can.  Being in good physical condition means that I will general feel good and avoid a lot of the aches and pains that creep up on the couch potato.

Age happens, and I can’t stop it, but I can make the most of it, living each day for the special day that it is, loving an obeying God, and serving my fellowman.
