The then and the now: how not to get depressed?

I have traded 'peace of mind' hoping for an extension of a few years of life. I believe less stress also helps in slowing the ageing process. A sort of prevention, rather than cure with botox and what not, when you have made it and could afford to do so. I would use an analogy of a light bulb of say 1,000 hours life. You can either use it continuously for 40 days or use it for 200 days at 5 hours per day.

A selection of 'then and now' pictures of some pop stars provide us with some sense of reality and rid us of denial that our age shows. We tend to say 'so and so' looks so old now, not realising he or she could be saying the same of us.

I cannot get over my sister-in-law's comment about Bob Dylan performing in Singapore - she could see only the hat which covered his face most of the time!
