“Who are you calling old?” “You’re only as old as you think you are!” These are old-aging adages we’ve all heard from time to
time. As you get older and you find the birthdays starting to roll by, keep in mind that aging, with your life experiences and
accumulated knowledge, is what makes you, you!

When we were kids back in the 50s and 60s and we met an older person in their 60s we thought “Man, that person is older than dirt”! But things have changed since we were kids. Currently, folks in their 60s are now like folks in their 40s used to be and it’s a fact that we are all living longer. Current average age life expectancy in the USA is now in the mid-80s. And you girls are living longer than us boys. Some very successful folks were just getting famous or successful in their later years. Take Colonel Sanders of Kentucky Fried Chicken fame. He opened his first store when he was 65! There are over 6 million Americans still working in jobs past the age of 65 and many of them have no intention of quitting anytime soon.
Some feel they still have to work, while others simply like what they do and see no reason to stop. Think you’re not old? Well, ask yourself a few questions

– When is the last time you lay on the floor to watch TV?

–Those old style clothes you just could not bear to toss out? Well, look what’s back in style!

–Do you and your teeth still sleep together?

-You know all the answers but there’s nobody to ask the questions.

–Are you starting to look like your driver’s license picture? Is your brain still making deals but your body can’t fulfill them?

–You look for your glasses for half an hour only to find them on top of your head? –You walk into a room to do something and can’t remember why?

–And my favorite……Grey hair is God’s way of saying start wrapping things up!

As we age and gain knowledge we have a tendency to have the ability to chill out and reason through something that 20 to 30
years ago would have caused a panic. More importantly, your accumulated knowledge is something that has taken you a
lifetime to gather and your special knowledge is what makes you, you!
