At least a couple of decades ago I figured -If a person is lucky, from the time they turn about 18 or so, they’ve got about 35 good years to remain youthful looking; and be able to perform most of the tasks they were able to do in their prime relatively well. At 57, this is the 1st year I’ve begun to feel a sense of age age -in several months I will turn 58 years old. So, we will say that I almost made it to forty in my case -ALMOST. 31 and 2/3 of those years clean and sober. Like someone once said, if you take care of your body it will take care of you. I’m not sure how well I’ve taken care of my body through these years -but I certainly appear to have alot less mileage on me than some others my age. Thank God -and good jeans 😉

Someone in an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting once remarked (years ago), “If I knew I was going to live this long -I would have taken better care of myself”. 😆
