Happy World Senior Citizen's Day!
Let's start a revolution and make senior care better!
I am 80! Do people tell you that you look great for your age? What does that even mean, and what does a number really look like?
What does age have to do with it?
Age, and aging for that matter, is a strange thing. Our perspective on it changes with every passing day, and in every single way. Case in point:
Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we’re kids? If you are less than 10 years old, you are so excited about aging that you think in fractions
How old are you? ‘I’m four and a half!’ you are never 36 and a half
You get into your teens, now they cannot hold you back: you jump to the next number, or even a few ahead. How old are you? ‘I’m going to be 16!’ You could be 13, but hey; you are eventually going to be 16
And then the greatest day of your life - you become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony. You become twenty one. Yes!
But then you turn 30. Ooooh, what happened there? Makes you sound like spoiled milk. He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There is no fun now, you are just a sour-dumpling. Whats wrong? What changed?
You BECOME 21. You TURNED 30, then you are PUSHING 40. Whoa. Put on the brakes, its all slipping away. Before you know it; you REACH 50 and your dreams are gone
But wait! You MAKE it to 60. You did not think you would
So you become 21, turn 30, push 40, reach 50 and make it to 60. You have built up so much speed that you HIT 70 that is that, it is a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday
You GET INTO your 80’s and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch, you REACH bedtime. And it does not end there. Into the 90’s, you start going backwards, ‘I WAS JUST 92’
Then a strange thing happens. If you make it to 100, you become a little kid again.
‘I’m 100 and a half!’
.
May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half
The point of all that is simple - do not waste your life on ‘anti-aging’ malarkey. Treat your body well while you are alive and just enjoy the ride
