Enjoy your body while it still works.
Do what you still can with an attitude of Piss and Vinegar.
Embrace the Unexpected (when you can).

It's like everything is reversing itself and what you grew into you're now growing out of.
Still, there are the years of acquired wisdom and on occasion, the long view and a philosophical outlook.
Oh to fly down a ski slope or fly again to France.
Well, there's still the wonderful oceans and lakes and if you swim, that is a true delight.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
