Olden is Golden

Feeling like life is passing you by lately? like the days are getting shorter?

Feel the need for a smile?

These may help?

Truths about growing older.

1) Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.

2) Forget the health food. At my age i need all the preservatives I can get!

3) When you fall down, you wonder what else you can do while you’re down there.

4) You’re getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster.

5) It’s frustrating when you know all the answers but nobody bothers to ask you the questions.

6) Time may be a great healer, but it’s a lousy beautician.

7) Wisdom comes with age, but sometimes age comes alone, or with a sharp decline in memory recall.

  1. I don’t feel old until I look in the mirror. I also don’t believe I have slowed down, it’s just that everybody else has got faster.

    I found some very wise quotes about getting older.

    The gardener’s rule applies to youth and age:
    When young “sow wild oats,” but when old, grow sage.

    Soren Kierkegaard
    Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forewards.

    Helen Rowland
    The follies which a man regrets most in his life are those which he didn’t commit when he had the opportunity.

    A man must have grown old and lived long in order to see how short life is.

  2. Ed – then it’s true – with age DOES come wisdom!
    i thought mine were funnier though 😛

    Tony – i wasn’t claiming originality (other than by omission) … and i hope i haven’t completely taken up that option either 🙂

    Part of my ‘heart’ will stay forever ‘young’ – i hope. 🙂
