3. Stop referring to yourself as old when there are people in their 50s around.
Now get off my lawn! :grr:

And happy birthday! :party:

4. Enjoy every sandwich.
:)


More advice:

Keep learning. Never let the brain idle. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop." And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.

Enjoy the simple things.

Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.

Cherish your health. If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.


Happy birthday!

7. Try to make yourself look like the guy in that photo before you hit the even bigger 4-0.
Live the hell out of this decade. It'll be over before you realize it. It's the fastest of all decades.

You say it's your birthday?
Well, it's my birthday too, yeah!
I'm glad it's your birthday!
We're gonna have a good time...

You, me, and Speaker Pelosi. Not a bad crowd. I'll take the company gladly!

Edit to add that it's 39 for me. The decade does indeed fly by...

19. Yeah, you're a baby.
I could be your mom. And, I'm not saying that as someone who conceived at 12.

20. Your metabolism is changing. Take care to stay in shape, because you'll keep that general shape
for a long time. And it gets harder and harder to get back in shape if you lose it.

Happy Birthday!

22. Yes. Keep in mind that the alternative to growing old is dying young.
You probably can't grasp that because you're a young 'un. When you grow up you will realize that I am right.
