Show-business legend Dick Van Dyke is living proof that life does
get better the longer you live it. Who better to offer instruction,
advice, and humour than someone who's entering his ninth decade
with a jaunty two-step? Van Dyke isn't just a born song-and-dance
man his irrepressible belief in embracing the moment and unleashing
his inner child has proved to be the ultimate elixir of youth. When
he was injured during the filming of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang , his
doctor warned him he'd be using a walker within seven years, but
Dick performed a soft shoe right there and never looked back.In
Keep Moving , Dick Van Dyke offers his own playful anecdotes and
advice, as well as insights from his brother, actor Jerry Van Dyke
his friend and creator of The Dick Van Dyke Show , Carl Reiner and
other spirited friends and family. Whether he's describing the
pleasure he takes in his habitual visits to the grocery store how
he met his late-in-life-love Arlene or how he sprung back, livelier
than ever, from a near-death experience, Dick's optimistic outlook
is an invigorating tonic for anyone who needs a reminder that life
should be lived with enthusiasm despite what the calendar says. You
don't have to act your age. You don't even have to feel it. And if
it does attempt to elbow its way into your life, you do not have to
pay attention. If I am out shopping and hear music playing in a
store, I start to dance. If I want to sing, I sing. I read books
and get excited about new ideas. I enjoy myself. I don't think
about the way I am supposed to act at my age - or at any age. As
far as I know, there is no manual for old age. There is no test you
have to pass. There is no way you have to behave. There is no such
thing as'age appropriate.'When people ask my secret to staying
youthful at an age when getting up and down from your chair on your
own is considered an accomplishment, you know what I tell
them?'Keep moving.'"- Dick Van Dyke
