Anti Aging a concept, that truly makes a seventy four year old smile. To me it is as far fetched as anti gravity.

That said wrinkles are something I truly understand. They are around my eyes, across my forehead, and like tiny spider web’s they cover my cheeks. For the most part, I wear them as a badge of honor.

On the brow, they denote worry, over a sick or lost child, parent, or spouse. Struggle with the elements sun, wind, rain, and freezing weather.

Around the eyes, humor, sadness, or squinting trying to see, what is coming down the road, or what the future may hold?

The spider webs on the cheeks, I cannot look upon with the same forbearance as the others. Instead of a badge of honor, they become a brand, left by alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, and other stimulants, that passed through my body in the days of my youth.

Ezra Taft Benson once said, “It is easier to prepare and prevent, than it is to repair and repent.”

Youth remember the dollar spent on stimulants now, will likely change to thousands, for creams, potions, and medicines, to repair your, skin, heart, joints, and oxygen-starved lungs in your old age.
