My mother enjoyed old age, and because of her I've begun to enjoy parts of it too. So far I've had it good and am crumbling nicely.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Old age may have its limitations and challenges, but in spite of them, our latter years can be some of the most rewarding and fulfilling of our lives.
I've been accused of being old before my time more than once. It's true that I've always felt an affinity for, and been comfortable around, older people. I attribute this to a childhood spent around my grandparents - and even a great-grandparent or two. I wouldn't trade those experiences for anything.
Why do people talk of the horrors of old age? It's great. I feel like a fine old car with the parts gradually wearing out, but I'm not complaining,... Those who find growing old terrible are people who haven't done what they wanted with their lives.
A comfortable old age is the reward of a well-spent youth. Instead of its bringing sad and melancholy prospects of decay, it would give us hopes of eternal youth in a better world.
Aging can be fun if you lay back and enjoy it.
There's no such thing as old age. I'm no different now than I was 50 years ago. I'm just having more fun.
To me, growing old is great. It's the very best thing - considering the alternative.
I quite like being old.
Everything about aging in my experience so far has been a plus. Except the death part!
I've gotten to the age where I'm comfortable with just about everything - except getting old!
