******my answer to getting older

too late.....I'm already there!!
But the REAL answer to getting old is....be on a first name basis with Jack kervorkian!!

You are only as old as you feel

That is as non-sensical as age is just a number. Great for poets, but not for reality!!

My mother used to tell my dad she felt like an old lady.

He'd tell her she was like cheese or a fine wine and that she was getting better with age.

I don't mind getting older, the other alturnative isn't looking to good!

You are only as you think you are...I know it's cliche, but it's so true. All I know is that I am a very youthful and energetic 35...

I have always liked this poem since I was in my 20's, now I am in my 40's I like it even more
When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.

I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.

I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick the flowers in other peoples' gardens
And learn to spit.

You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and pickles for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.

But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
And pay our rent and not swear in the street
And set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.

But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.
