i'm going where the sun keeps shining, thru' the pouring rain, going where the weather suits my clothes. backing off of the north east wind, sailing on summer breeze, and skipping over the ocean like a stone.

Tomorrow I turn 47. That's older than I've ever been and it makes me somewhat reflective (in the sense of looking at the big picture, not in the sense of photons bouncing off me). So here's some real advice.
Try new things.
Get exercise. (I prefer Ashtanga yoga, but it’s a personal decision. Just try to do activities that work on your cardiovascular conditioning, strength, flexibility, and balance).
Eat well. (You should be able to recognize and pronounce the ingredients in your food. Bonus points if you recognize them as coming from plants. Processed, chemically food is bad. Fat is bad. Fast food is bad. When in doubt, order the fish.)
Don’t be a dick. Don’t think that you matter more than other people.
Don’t get sunburned. (It makes your skin splotchy and increases your risk of skin cancer).
Make eye contact. Listen to people when they talk to you.
It’s OK to flirt a little. Women in our society are bombarded with images that make them think they’re unattractive. When the appropriate (i.e. non-pervy) opportunity presents itself, let them know they aren’t.
When people are envious of the fun you’re having, they’ll tell you you’re immature. Don’t listen to them.
Play with children.
Don’t buy into the myth that celebrities are deserving of worship. They’re not deserving of scorn either.
Appreciate what you have. Having more stuff is not the key to happiness.
Playing the lottery is, by definition, a losing proposition.
There’s no law that says that, at a certain age, you have to stop going to shows or listening to new music.
Read books.
Hating anyone takes up a lot of energy that’s better used in other ways.
If you have more than you need, give to those who need it more.
Don’t forget the kissing.
Don’t drink and drive.
Brush and floss regularly.
Talk to people with whom you think you have nothing in common and find some common ground.
As soon as you can, start saving for retirement. Compound interest is a wonderful thing.
Keep it simple.
Don’t be overly willing to take advice from strangers (like myself).
