Mom, at 17, high school graduation:
Today is the 85th anniversary of my mother's birth. She died when she was just four years older than I am now, after many years of declining health due to congestive heart failure. When she was younger, she always said that she planned to die before 65, because she never wanted to get "old". I think she was surprised when she made it to 67. And by then, well, she was old.
Our state of health and state of mind have a lot to do with how old we look and feel, and our state of mind has a lot to do with the state of our health.
Like my mother, I don't intend to get old. But unlike her, I'm going to do it by staying young.
