AGEING—

From the perspective of 66 years

--Makes wrinkles have wrinkles.
--Woke up today? Give thanks.
--Makes one treasure good health. After all, it cannot be bought.
--Same lofty status as being a senior in high school; except it lasts longer.
--Makes the value of each remaining day greater.
--Has allowed me to live almost 30% of our country’s history.
--Makes one appear wiser. Likely a myth, but enjoy it.
--Allows one to turn things like loss of hearing into an asset.
--Makes you go slower. It’s hard to smell the roses when you are hurrying anyhow.
--Feel Herculean! Do something-anything-rigorous. Corollary: Avoid rigor mortis.
--Makes you regarded as elderly. Ha!
--What the heck! Buy another toy.
--And; it sure beats the dickens out of the alternative.
