As You Age

Your time on Earth is limited.
Use it wisely; don't be dim-witted.
And as you age, be uninhibited!
Don't try to age with grace
always keeping a straight face.
Age with mischief and audacity,
high spirits and vivacity!
If doubts and inhibitions you dispel,
then you'll always have a story to tell.

Good advice Jim, apart from the aches and pains getting older isn't too bad. Tom

Getting older, even with the aches and pains, is better than the alternative! Take care. J.
