Rules for Aging, by Roger Rosenblatt

I have so enjoyed this book I thought it would be fun to share it with you!

"Rule #1: It doesn't matter.
Whatever you think matters-- doesn't Follow this rule, and it will add decades to your life. It does not matter if you are late, or early; if you are here, or if ou are thre; if you said it, or did not say it; if you were clever, or if you were stupid; if you are having a bad hair day, or a no hair day; if your boss looks at you cockeyed; if your girlfriend or boyfriend looks at you cockeyed; if you are cockeyed; if you don't get that promotion, or prize, or house, or if you do. It doesn't matter."

As I am reading and typing this, I am thinking of all the things I stress and fret about that really do not matter! And as a health educator, I know that the stress, worry and fretting produces more free radicals that promote premature aging and disease. So today I am practicing going with the flow and it doesn't matter!
