1.What's one thing you learned at the ripe old age of whatever age you are now?
I finally learned that you can’t change people and just to let them live their own lives without my interference. Let them row their own boat...as a wise friend once told me.
2. Do you know any foods that can help you look younger?
No, I wish I did because I’d eat a bushel of them.

I miss how you could just drop by your friend’s house unannounced and sit and visit. Now I feel I have to call first and give them a heads up.

You feel more at peace. Little annoyances don’t bother you as much. You are more content. You have longtime friends who have supported you for years. You don’t try so hard to be liked by everyone.

I'm alive! Beats the alternative. Seriously, I don't take time for granted. Each day is a gift. Also, I'm letting go of a lot of things I foolishly worried about. I've learned that age is an arbitrary number, and I'm never going to act my age.
