When we get older and older!

Hi fjclolazy, I'm not sure your definition of "older", but I know that I am older (to me, I'm 51). I also love traveling. I guess that is one of the reasons I chose to teach English in China. I can't wait for my health to improve so I can travel again. I am still single and happy with the decision. I don't think I could live with other people, especially kids. As far as money goes, it is always a struggle for me. As far as being fatter, I don't worry about it right now. It will be helpful for me while I am in chemotherapy because if I am not able to eat, I still have the fat stores to live on. I don't know how old you are or what your goals are for these areas, but I'm sure that as you get older, you will figure out what it will take to be happy. Have a great week!

I have the same thinking as you fjc, but I think deeply, God created our life very short here on earth because it is only temporary and after this he will lead us to our life eternity, so at first I am panic,, but now I have a confidence to live my life at fullest, do my best all the time, all the moment, do good all the time, to what God whisper you, because he is the creator of all pleasure and wealth in this earth, we are just creature. We will follow him thats the right path, I'm a single , I can't feel being able to have GF yet, why? If God intended and planned me at the start to become single then his will be done not mine. I fully accept it. I dont know also if when he will gave me one maybe 30th? 40th? We don't know what happen next this step we take, we better follow his steps up to the heaven. OK?

Take heart! We are only as old or as young as we feel. Age can not stop us from achieving in life. Only we can do that to ourselves.

For me I will be brave and tackle to be firm in my older age and happy to serve Jehovah God.

Hi my friend, We can't make all our dreams come true in our life. But we can complete some of them. Don't think about your age. I realize that you can do the things which you said whenever you like with your age is older and older.

i'm old. 68. wheelchair. morbidly obese. triple heart by-pass. pacemaker/defibrillator. arthritis. bald. but generally, i'm a pretty happy guy. i enjoy what i can do now and remembering what i have done in the past. i am fortunate in that i have a great wife, kids and grandkids. i've had an excellent education, a rewarding career which allowed me to help a lot of developmentally disabled people, and good friends. so with everything in the first couple of lines, i've been very lucky. i think you'll find that no matter what your circumstances, with a good attitude you can age well. be as active as you can be, both physically and mentally. don't worry about aging. it will take care of itself.

Hi fjclolazy, This is what I too do not want to be. Every moment, every hour, every day we are getting older and cutting ourselves from the charm and joy of life when people have them when they are in their youth. But you have to grow old and you have to see your wrinkled face on the mirror and some other people are taking care of your food and bathroom. I too feel disgusted. Up to 50 it is alright but beyond that? Guest are not expected to stay too long and this is the message.

Hi dear, Some of your topics alwyas make me laugh! I think you are so sensitive. Why to take so much of tension? Everything has its own time. If we do or do not, like or don't like, certain things, that will happen by itself, in this matter, we need not worry, you just stay cool. What you will do if there is no rains today? Again, if there is a earth quake, what you will do? Nothing. A train accident in the morning on the western areas - what can you do for that? There are 5 new born babies in the nearby hospital - what relates to you? So keep cool. Things will happen like this. You are saying, you become older, thicker & fatter.... Now you are a school child and I feel so interesting to talk to you. Dear, don't bother of such things. As long as you are young and unmarried, your parents are there to look after you. Once you got married, your h/b and his parents will support you. If you were in need of money, they will help for you in your studies, shopping, and all. I just was laughing about the dress change in incident happened to you and your sister. Accept things with a challenging mode. If so, you will enjoy all things. But if you observe everything with a suspicious look, you will find all are wrong and scary. So let problems come to you, then you will get courage enough to face it. This is the way we learn things. If you get fatter and flat, there are remedies for it. Once you complete your studies, you may get a suitable job or you will start some better business. You will get salary or better marginal profits. So all such things are part of life and once you complete your learning, you will become matured enough to face such things. Only one thing that we cannot stop is the process of aging. It is not in our hands, but it is not a process of one day or two days. Aging is a slow and gradual process. Today you are 20 and after 21, 22, 23 like that. After 2 years will not be 55. That means, the process of aging is slow and when you reach 60, you will definitely accept the age and will never feel that you are aged. Because you over come from 25-30-35-45-55 and all. So, relax and be cooool. There are a lot of time and you are in the best age to enjoy the life. So enjoy, enjoy, enjoy. No worries, no tension, no -nothing to worry, if you have some worries, give it to your parents, they will handle it for you. Good night. Thank-s

Getting old is a part of life. From the day of our birth we begin to grow older and older. lol. You can visit the same place 20 years apart and have completely different and rewarding experiences. Live a long and full life so that as you get older you grow old with dignity and not despair. Enjoy your youth while your young, you will never get your youth back no matter how hard you try. You are only at the beginning of your life. Spend your energy doing all those things you want to do. Don't waste time on uncertainties.

I'd say you're clearly thinking too much in the future. tho there's nothing wrong to look forward to your future and plans I think you should rather focus on life you live now. after all what actually is old? is there a limit? actually there's not. someone is as old as they feel in their heart. you may meet some elders who may be in their 60's or 70's and when you'll ask them how old do they feel I'm 99% sure most of them will tell you in their heart they feel they haven't aged for a bit. so focus on your life now and try to combine it with as many hobbies and all the stuff that interests you, just don't go overboard. as for traveling, you're still young, wen you'll start working a job you'll hopefully earn enough to fulfill this dream and go live on your own. that's why profession has such an importance here, because it kind of draws our future, so if you're in school and I know you may don't like it, but you better be a good student. because later in life you'll see how it paid off to be a good girl. :] as far as dreams and wishes go, no person on this earth I'm sure doesn't have a chance to fullfill all their dreams, but we can some if we work hard, so job here comes into subject again. about boyfriend, as I already said in you previous discussion, do not worry to much about it. there may be this special someone out there already, you just gotta look more carefully ;] as for your body gaining weight, you might be following to much trends who tell us to eat less and excersise more. basically almost all of it is just a myth. it's true you gain weight faster when you get older, but it's definitely not true you can't carry a healthy and slim shape if that's what you really desire. I personally just wish I could fulfill one dream of mine one day which is to move to the states and pursue acting career. and of course travel, travel and travel. I'm 21 years old and at times I really feel like I'm kind of late, but then again when I start to think I realize age is just a number really and if we have a dream it doesn't matter how old we are, but how far we're willing to follow our will to finally make it come true.

I don't want to think too much about what I will do when I'm older because if I worry too much I will probably get mad,so I try as much as I can to focus on the present and the close future and enjoy life as it is,better or worse.I think the more we think about old age and the way we will be,the worse we will feel and we won't be able to enjoy life now,so come what may,I try to live for the present.

Then one day you look in the mirror.A few white hairs, a few wrinkles ... Well, if you want fight with them. It's good to get older beautiful and dignified. Old age can not be so terrible if you grab when you're already an accomplished person with children, a husband, I know, grandchildren, cats and dogs. I guess everyone gets tired at some point, life is busy, and there comes a time when you prefer to sit back and watch as flourishing around you and how others go through what you went and you once ... Each age has its charm, right?

You can get older in many different ways. Your physical body is ageing. You can grow old fashion in your way of thinking. No matter in what age you are, YOU can still be young in heart, thinking, being as for dressing, do activities as youngsters do. Many activities, knowledge, getting an education has nothing to do in what age you are in. I'm 52 I love doing Hip Hop dancing. I love to run and jump and crawl on the floor like my grandchildren do, age 8yr old and 1 yr old. Live your life now. Enjoy the presence. Have dreams and goal for future days. Make realistic plans that you can accomplish. I hope to get into a health condition to be able to travel abroad one day. Try to feel happy having gratitude for every wee little things, any gesture of action towards you. try to stay healthy by being physical active. Eat healthy good nutritional food. Think positive thoughts. Smile and laugh every day.

For me growing old is an evidence of life's strife surpassed by a person. Gray hairs for me are laurels, the wrinkles are the proof of battles successfully survived. By then, the beauty that we have when we age begin to fade. Yet the rewards we gained through the years radiate the kind of beauty that shows despite the wrinkled skin. And wouldn't it be more rewarding, that even if you lost your youth, you still have that special someone beside you. Looks at you with eyes full of love. And I feeling of satisfaction can be reaped when in your life you know you've made a difference...
