Working hard just to keep up

When we are young, we spend most of our time trying to improve ourselves. Like a new car we put on fancy hub caps, install new radios, maybe even a exciting new paint job. The problem is we are not interested in the basic maintenance or strengthening the chassis. I am now finding that this relates to our bodies also. Rather than eating well and working out, keeping our blood pressure low and watching how we act; we do crazy things and they rely on our young body to pull us through. Then, when we get old, we spend just as much time just trying to maintain what is falling apart, that we have no time for improvement. Oh the follies of youth......
