Old Age Ain't No Place For Sissies

Here's Something that we'll all do today, regardless of our social status, ethnic background, or political party. We'll get older. Sure, some people handle it better than others, but it happens to all of us.

We all watch our skin migrating south like a flock of eager geese, our hairs fading to pale imitations of what they once were, our joints creaking like rocking chairs.

That's just life.

Aging, though, has its benefits.Wisdom comes with age (if we can remember what we are talking about).

We become role models for the younger generations (if they can see past our uncool clothes).

We become respected, admired members of society. (Or at least we've been around long enough to avoid obsessing about what society thinks.)
