Ageing...
Your body is not your enemy it is your oldest companion.
It has carried you through every moment of your life, from childhood adventures to adult responsibilities. It has healed from sickness, weathered stress and adapted to all the burdens you have placed upon it.
Instead of resenting it for slowing down show it gratitude.
Ageing well is not about trying to be who you were it's about caring for who you are now.
Move your body gently, feed it well, rest when it needs rest, treat it like a wise old friend rather than a failing machine.
Anon.
 
Oh, moon of Alabama
We now must say say good-bye

And must have whisky
Oh, you know why.

Bertolt Brecht
