Stay Young
I got glasses today. Reading glasses. I'm trying not to let this remind me that I'm aging or that I'm not as sharp as I once was. I had 20/20 vision for a long time. And then one day I couldn't see a piece of paper from across the room. As I type this I am wearing my glasses. It feels weird, a bit strained to get used to but I can see better. I can tell. Ba hum bug. Boo. The eye doctor wins I guess. Here are some things I do to feel young:
1. Jog outside, get fresh air. I try to do this 6 times a week. I'm not some stellar runner but sweating is essential to a clear mind.
2. Exfoliate my face with sugar, sea salt, and honey once a week. It's great.
3. Use organic fresh clean lovely soaps.
4. Eat a variety of foods-sweet, salty, spicy, and savory. Try new things and keep it basic-veggies, whole wheat pastas, organic meats if any, and dried fruits and nuts.
5. I have a weakness for coffee but it boosts my metabolism which keeps me from snacking.
6. Be creative and collaborate with other artists often.
7. I find that a glass of wine a day gives good color. I admit I don't always stick to one glass ;)
8. Vitamins, vitamins, vitamins.
9. I'm going to buy Alicia Silverstone's new book about veganism soon-its my next possible step.
10. Optimism. Lots and lots of optimism in the face of adversity.

2. Actually, coffee is becoming the new "health" drink. No more than 3 cups per day.
3. You take such good care of yourself!
4. We won't talk about the wine. ;)
