Age teaches that maintaining health, relationships, and peace requires active participation.

Nothing valuable holds its condition on its own. Health declines without attention, friendships lapse without contact, calm erodes without protection. For a while it all seems self-sustaining because you have surplus, and later it becomes obvious that everything good requires ongoing input.

Pick the one that has been most neglected and give it something this week. A walk, a call, an evening protected from everything. The upkeep required is far smaller than the cost of rebuilding after it has gone.
