Length of life has very little real significance.

What's really important is the quality.
-Arthur Judson Brown (1856-1963) clergyman, missionary, author.
He died 39 days after his 106th birthday.

I used to have the fear of dying alone, but that's now gone.
I no longer have a fear of dying...getting through today's challenges are my main concern.
This life is but a passing mist...here and then gone.
And in the end...I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever! Amen!

After a certain, if you don't wake up aching in every joint... you're probably otherwise! 🤭

Growing old is a blessing, and its apart of life. I treat old people with the up most respect because I know one day I'm going to get old. We all are. God bless

No, growing old does not suck! I get more mellow as time goes on. Things like slow traffic, and crazy drivers no longer bother me.
The majors of this world become minors, since I look forward to going to heaven...

Where I live, if people wake up aching, they reach for a joint! I'd prefer them do that than reach for China White. If they really need it, but you know those old hippies...oh well!
What good came out of it being legalized? Our glorious leader became Prime Minister. Now we are hosting the People's Liberation Army.
Us Canadian have never know if and when the Yankee aggressors would cross the Niagara River again!
All those years of peace, prosperity, and friendship may've been a ruse used to get us to let our guard down. And then, when we least expect it...whammo, we'd all be drinking American beer...aw, man...maybe it's too late! Lol

I recall the first time I was referred to as being middle-aged. I still haven't resolved my feelings over that. And now I'm Grampa aka ancient, old thing! How come kids are so mouthy these days...and how can they still be so mouthy while in their 40s...are they never going to grow up? And they think it's funny!!!
I can't believe I have dentures...I don't like the way things are turning out very much! Anyway, it's time to have a nap! Lol

The most fun part of growing old must be deciding what colour to dye your hair. I mean why dye it back in your original hair colour when you can do something like this: EyYrCLSWEAQcDdM.jpg

"Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty.
Anyone who keeps learning stays young.
The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young!"
