[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read the earlier comments - it's interesting it's less about "lessons" about life and more about HOW TO STAY FIT FIT FIT FIT FIT FIT SINCE WOMEN ARE THE SOCIAL SAFETY NET OF AMERICA[/quote]

I agree with the fitness comments however I don't think it's anything to do with women and the social safety net.  I watched by in-laws not take care of themselves and spend their 70's at one doctors appointment after another, a ton of medications, in and out of hospital.  My parents on the other hand who did eat well and exercised were still travelling in their 70's, no medication and running around with no concerns.  Of course other things may come up but it is about health for your own well being and comfort in the older years.  Almost everyone on this thread has said how important it is because it impacts how you feel on a day to day basis.

As for lessons - not caring what other people think or their opinion of me.  I spent my younger years taking in those jabs and insults that people throw around and getting hurt.  As you get older I now choose to spend time with people that don't do that, who are positive and I leave them feeling warm and good.  Even family members who insult with the "but I was just concerned" nope, I have distanced from those types of people and my life has become so much more peaceful.  If someone is insulting I can leave it with them, other people's opinions are just that, their opinion.
