Statement

Keeping Up takes a look at personal upkeep. We all have this one body—and whatever shape it is in, it is arguably our prize possession. And we are tasked with the seemingly endless job of taking care of it.

That means we must sometimes visit the likes of doctors, dentists, physical therapists and other traditional healthcare professionals, which involves a lot of waiting. It also might mean we run, walk, swim, climb, do yoga, dance, and whatever it takes to keep the body functioning reasonably well and to keep age at a slightly greater distance.

Then there is the upkeep of the exterior—haircuts, mani-pedis, make-overs, elective surgeries…

There is love and companionship and going out on the town occasionally, a lovely cup of tea and a good night’s sleep.

So much work to keep up with it all.
