I am a very sickly person. I have already felt all sorts of very bad body pains. My mom used to take me to the doctor every now and then when I was still very young. While in high school, I used to think that there is no way I will live to be 50. I dread the coming of the day. I was thinking that the pains must have reached unbearable heights by then.
Now, it won't be long when I will be 54. I have come to realize that life goes on and getting old is not really that bad. It has its good points, too. Besides my children still need me despite the fact that they are in ages of independence already. To make me feel good reaching this age, they all take good care of me and show me how much I am loved and needed.
So, my advice for you, let the good times roll. There is life, happy life to look forward to even when we get old and older still.

Those who think positively generally lead a happier and longer life. No matter how bad things may get at a time, try to see the cup half full. While we cannot control everything that occurs in life, we can choose how we react to it. We shouldn't let small things get us down, but instead try and look at the bigger picture. Make sure that you are not always doing what other people want you to but are taking care of your own needs also.
