Dr. Laura:
I had a great aunt who was a Vermont farm wife. One of her favorite sayings was "It's a great life if you don't weaken."
I am now in my 50s and realize she was right. If we do what we need to do to stay physically, mentally, emotionally and morally strong - it is a great life, because then you can handle anything that comes your way.
She was also a schoolteacher and taught me how to add in my head, which is an invaluable skill. I seldom need a calculator!
