  1. Everyone needs to read "Jitterbug Perfume" by Tom Robbins! A fantastic and surreal adventure of two early humans who discover the secret to eternal youth (which has to do with dancing and beets), frolicking through the centuries and discovering other fantastic secrets. Some of the qoutes in the novel are so fantastic, they've become a kind of template for my own journey thru life. My favorite is that if you refuse to take charge of your own life, you can't be surprised if the gods have a grin or two at your expense. If you sit back and wait for things to land in your lap, basically, don't bitch about what you get, since you never made an effort to even make a decision about how you wanted things to be... I'm 60, and I've found that the most youthful, attractive trait to have, and to find in others, is a sense of humor and a fascination with others. Being interested in everything and everyone, makes you incredibly attractive. YOU don't have to try to be fascinating, people think you are when you are interested in THEM. it is so rare in the average person, that even though I'm not young anymore, and never was a real beauty, I still get asked out all the time, usually by young men, even though I've been married for over 34 years. My husband has remained in love with me, just because I really like him, and I'm interested in his life. I'm not kidding, it's the secret between being alone all your life and having more friends and lovers than you can handle. Be unselfconsciously confident, humorously friendly and easy going, and interested in everyone and you will be happy! And make others happy. And live forever.
