Just
Number
anks to a variety of reasons, people now say
that 60 is the new 40. I certainly wouldn't argue
with that observation for those of us that are lucky
enough to be able to work jobs that don't destroy our
bodies and souls. Others just can't be happy to live
the simple life and instead follow the directions of
the old Schlitz Beer commercial and try to "Grab All
the Gusto at You Can!"
Nothing wrong with a little fun, but some rec-
reational pursuits can have serious implications if
something goes wrong. Six feet under is a number
none of us should rush to embrace.
Life is what you make of it aer fate and chance
have their go at you. ere are lots of good decisions
that we can make about our health in life and even
more poor ones. e trick is doing the best that you
individually can. Back in the '50s, comedian Joe
E. Lewis expanded the classic phrase, "You only
live once," by adding "If you work it right, once is
enough!" In true Millennial fashion, Drake res-
urrected the phrase and abbreviated it to YOLO.
Use your time wisely because life is a set of finite
numbers.
