Accept who you are. Sure, you're slowing down but you're physically fit and mentally alert so you still have a lot of living to do. O.K. so maybe life doesn't begin at 50 but it doesn't end at 50 either. Some of the best moments of your life are ahead of you. You will have more time to do things for yourself rather than always meeting the needs of others. Don't try to act like a twenty-year-old. You'll just look foolish. On the other hand, you don't have to dry up like an old prune. Keep active, think young, but act your age. You're not a heart throb and you're not a super star but you have a certain flare and style which comes with maturity. Moderation in all endeavors will make 1997 an enjoyable year for you.
