I could have avoided all this if I had only done things differently. First my health problems, To combat my failing teeth I would have brushed, flossed, and used mouth wash more often, and I would have seen the dentist more than when their was a problem. To have avoided my paunch belly I would have continued running after high school and I would have kept up a healthy well balanced diet. I regret my lack of hair now and if I could go back I would have kept better care of it in my younger days and I would have started using Rogain immediately after it started growing thin. My gray hair was inevitable and is a sign of my age, I would not change this or I would look foolish in front of my older friends. As for my failing eye sight, I should have listened to my mother and eaten my vegetable, especailly my carrots. Now that arthritis has begun to set in I wish I had had one glass of milk a day to strengthen my bones. This could have all been avoided with careful preparation and tireless efforts to improve my health. Now my social problems are all my own doing, they are the effects of years of bad habits. My apparent grumpy manner is on the account of my 30 years at a job I didn’t love, If I could go back I would have done something I loved like work with animals or write poetry .
