Why are you concerned with aging? It's a natural part of life, fighting it can surely only rob you of the enjoyment of it. Stay healthy, of course, but not because aging is a bad thing, it's just a thing. Staying active in body and mind is good advise so you have a better quality of life regardless of age, but I don't think you should see it as a combative measure

It's not aging itself, so much as the various (unhelpful) patterns that people fall into over being squeezed through teh funnel of life

I look forward to aging and prefer to set myself up for success. Keeping in touch with my inner child is a source of strength since I think it's a crucial element in becoming whole which is the best way to age. 

 Keeping in touch with your inner child seems vague, can you elaborate?

I strongly recommend you read The Sandman by Neil Gaiman.  (I can only give you the 5 second explanation since I have a ripping migraine)

Its a graphic novel that's a collection of stories that explores various abstract concepts such as our relationship with death and dreams—as in physical dreams but mostly aspirations.  It has many guiding principles that have completely changed the way I perceive the world forever.  It has also completely altered the way I view death too—as a necessary end to life to accentuate the beauty of existence. In an eternal existence all the impactful little moments become diluted in a never-ending wave of new stories.  Like a book that keeps making sequels, the love is lost and the meaning is watered down.

Sister Death -from The Sandman by Neil Gaiman

“For some folks death is release, and for others death is an abomination, a terrible thing. But in the end, I'm there for all of them.”

 Sister death is not someone to be feared, she is a familiar face that resembles an inviting loved one ready to embrace you in your final moments and talk about pleasantries as she takes you to the afterlife—eternal darkness.

Look out for the Stresemann's Bristlefront

Overview: Perhaps the world's rarest bird, only one Stresemann's Bristlefront is known to survive in the wild. Unfortunately, this bird is confined to one of the most fragmented and degraded – and vulnerable – forests in the Americas.
