How to keep a strong jawline and good facial structure as you age. Breathe through your nose smooth and slow. Keep your mouth closed. Teeth together. Push up with your tongue on the roof of your mouth. Chew sugar free gum.

And yet holding an asset for 30 years I way beyond most people. So it’s simple in theory but very difficult in reality.

Strange how they only have one solution.

Very clever

Travelling for work is hard when you’re in love with your wife.

Real friends, the ones who stick by you through the ups and downs. They are the only ones that matter. Look after them!

Turning 40 feels mythical and profound. The time of testing.

All curves

I just saw an example of female aging in reality. Met a grandmother and mother waiting for the granddaughter off the plane. Estimate of ages. Grandma - 85 Mother - 60 Daughter - 30 Firstly the Grandmother was hunched, petite, and heavily wrinkled. Appeared to be around 5 foot 4 inches. The mother was standing tall and strong, nice wide jaw and teeth and not too wrinkled. Also not overweight. I’d say no Botox, wealthy and healthy. Fully grey hair and still attractive for her age. Around 5 foot 10 inches. The daughter was at least 6 foot, definitely taller than me. Strong and lean looking with a beautiful face, very wide jaw and strong straight teeth. Literally twice the size of the diminutive grandmother. I could see the result of aging, but it was more than that. The mother and daughter were so much more robust and large. I could tell the mother would not be so small in her old age. Nutrition and lifestyle are improving us. The daughter was more an Amazon and the grandmother looked like she hadn’t ever lifted a weight.

Day 2 of being 40. Celebrating done. Time to get on with optimising my wellbeing.
