Day 45: Establish a Relationship with a Doctor

I am using this blog as a platform to acknowledge that I am an aging human being.  Nothing groundbreaking here, but when you've spent the first 25 years of your life still very much developing into the person you are, both physically and mentally, it's hard to immediately make that switch into the mentality that you have reached your physical peak in the evolutionary sense, and are now in a long state of decline.  

It's little wonder that most whiz movers and shakers in age sensitive fields like math, chess, and sports are all pretty much younger than I am.  

The beauty of this, though, is the fun of defying this state of decline.  It's not to say that I want to be in denial about this aging process and dress/behave like a teenager, but it's always wonderful to see an athlete past his "prime" overcome the odds to perform better than his younger counterparts, or an elderly graduating from college, et cetera.

So, to gracefully defy my state of decline, first step is to establish a relationship with a doctor.  Receiving a clean bill of health and educating myself on the best ways to keep defying the odds is something I want to do for Chris, too, as we enter this covenant of weighty promises and responsibilities to each other.
