The story is that when Toby Keith asked Clint Eastwood how he kept going (at 88 years old). Eastwood said, "I just get up every morning and go out. And I don't let the old man in." source: Billboard.com .
This philosophy is powerful no matter your age, and beautifully expressed by Toby Keith here:
Thanksgiving Day has so many special aspects that highlight how much we have to be grateful for. You get to pick your focus- family, friends, football, feast, foliage and so much more.
