1. Nobody’s thinking about you. (If you’re lucky, the important people in your life are thinking about you — as well as themselves, which is human nature.)

2. Make young friends. (If you can find them. Everybody we know is old.)

3. Try to see fewer than five doctors. (Maybe three max.)

4. Get a dog. (Cat.)

5. Don’t hear the cheers. (Don’t know what that means.)

6. Everyone’s in pain. (Pretty much.)

7. Listen for Bob Marley. (Why?)

8. Join a gang. (Yes. Women’s gangs are critical for mental health.)

9. On regrets. ... Learn to live with them. (You’ve got no choice.)

10. Start and end every day by listening to Louis Armstrong. (Listening to, and singing (loudly) along with, Christian music.)

On #10, I would add Dixieland music- it’s the happiest music in the world, especially When the Saints Go Marching In

My mom always called me young. Even when she was in her 90's she thought 60 was young. God rests her soul.

Scratching my head on "Don't hear the cheers" too.

I like your list mm. And I think you make young friends if you are part of even a small church body.
