At what age should you start growing old graciously?

I think we should always keep the childishness..even if we're in our hundreds we should keep that wicked streak :) If you wanna start early go for in the fifties..I'm never gonna change and 'act my age' though. I never have..so why start? Lol.

Never!!!! You're as young as you feel...I'm definitely 43 going on 13...as you probably know!! ;-)

Thats what I would like to know. I dont have the piercings or the purple hair because I think that makes you look ugly. I say your as young as you feel.

I think that's great too, that your kids can relate to you in the way you dress and act. When my son was courting my now daughter-in-law, she told me that I was more like a sister to her than a parent, and that she loved coming out with me. I've always cherished that comment. My answer to your question is, you should never give up and grow old graciously. You're as old as you feel and the people you can relate to. Life is for living... you make your own happiness. When you decide you're old, you'll become old. Just don't think about it, because as I have found, it is only your body that ages whilst your mind stays young, and if you give in to it mentally, you will appear old. Have fun and make hay while the sun shines. Follow your path happily and take pleasure in all the gifts life has given you. Dance in the rain and under the moon... you won't ever regret it! Brightest Blessings my friend.

Dress the way that makes you happy and comfortable. I have to dress for professionally for work, but when I saw my boyfriend over the weekend, I was wearing cropped pants and a football jersey with my hair in it's more natural state (wavy). I think he felt more comfortable with it too. My daughter says that I'm more her 'mommy' then too (and she's 13 1/2!) I'll be 36 this year too and I don't plan to 'grow up' (unless it'll get me more money!)

NEVER! If you look good, don't worry about it! See how you feel about it at 70! Love your avatar!

Never, once you starting thinking old you become old, think young stay young....

Is there an age where you start growing old graciously? No, life is too short and there shouldn't be any age, enjoy life the way you want it and if you don't want to grow up, don't, I think most of us, if we are truly honest are big kids at heart, and besides there's no fun in growing old! Why not be outrageous! Go for it!

I will age, but I will never grow old! That has always been my motto. Wear the clothes you are most comfortable in, wear your hair the way it suits you. Live life to the fullest. Enjoy!

never, ever, ever. Growing up is so over rated its silly. I grew up once, didnt like it much, so ive started having fun again. I have no intention of growing up but might grow old disgracefully, given half a chance. blessed be

well this 'ole girl has no intention of putting on the 'buffet pants' (my children picked that term up from watching 'What Not to Wear' on TV, it is the show's name for elastic waist pants!) and using the blue rinse! (haha,'bluehairs'). I celebtrated my 50th birthday this past Saturday night. Did a body shot off my husband (my children and friends had dared me) and danced the night away in my jeans and kitten heels! I imagine to answer your original question, that one would have to first define 'graciously' before deciding when they would age that way! I say that you are as old as you think...so I'm no where close to my chronological age!

hi bizziebod. i think as long as you are happy as you are and are a good and kind person then there is never a need to get out those slacks and slippers. there is such a negative response from some parts of society to how people look but do not know them as a person. same as people with a skinhead and covered in tattoos, some people automatically think they are some kind of thug and don't give them the time of day but are surprised when they realise they have a good heart and are very socialble people. as long as your family accepts this i think it is great that you have a bit of originality. can you tell me where all your piercings are...lol

Good grief hun, I have always made it a point to grow old DISGRACEFULLY - lol. My hair is currently black with purple tips, I have tattoos, wear my goth clothes with pride, can probably still be found clubbing at weekends, love my rock and goth music and having fun. I always said that the day I sat in an armchair, wearing a crimplene pinefore dress, tartan slippers and knitting, shoot me.

I'd say 80 LOL I like wearing jeans, miniskirt and Tshirt still. I am only 32 and skinny. When I'm 80 then maybe I'll look just awful with wrinkles and fat everywhere then I won't wear all those again. Hehehe

Most of us fear growing old and want to try and fight the process as much as we can. We are looking for a relatively safe and convenient way to delay the process and remain looking and feeling youthful for as long as we can. Genetics only accounts for one-third of our health so it's basically up to us to make lifestyle choices that can have a major impact on how well and long we live. While the use of cosmetic products can combat the physical signs of ageing, one needs to try other methods to remain young at heart.

The more posts I read from you, the more I have to laugh. We are almost the same age, have the saem interests and refuse to grow up. Humm, I may have to start asking family members to see if there was a twin that lost lost in the shuffle. I refuse to grow up. I still put purple streaks in my hair and good lord, I do tattoo work. How much more 'not grown up' can I get??? Piercings? Yes. Tattooes? Yes. Play with Lego's? Yes. Believe in dragons? Of course!
