As a geezer in training here are my recommendations on aging:
1. Do it.  The only thing worse than growing old is to be denied the privilege.
2. Try to have a companion or friends on the journey with you.
3. Stay involved: volunteering, writing, painting, reading and nagging your children.  As they say, old age is the period when a person is too old to take advice but young enough to give it.
4. Exercise:  if your are able, walking is both a physical and mental boost.  I also believe in alternative to the South Beach diet called the North Woods diet:  eat less and exercise more.
5. Don’t be afraid to take naps.  My favorite bumper sticker:  “Consciousness—that confusing time between naps.”
6. Set your priorities:  decide what is important for you.
