I am pushing Senior Citizen Status.

Depends on where you go and what you do. A senior is either 55, or 62 or not until you are 65. I took a free class on aging so i may be able to relate more to the 'OLDER' than myself population.

It was very infomrative. I found out that I don't think I want to grow real old.

I think the best thing I got out of the class was the Senility Prayer.

Grant me the Senility to forget the people I never liked anyway.
The good fortune to Run into the people that I do...and
The eye sight to tell the difference.

Be kind to the older population and call someone you care about today!

My favorite line about aging still is, "growing old ain't for sissies." I've heard that attributed to Katherine Hepburn and Mae West among others.

Another thought: cultivate friends younger than you!

Vern, love it. The way I look at it, the alternative to growing old is NOT an option.

LOL, i like their signs. Make about as much sense as the ones at OWS, actually they make more sense.

I love to hangout with people older than me, they have had life experiences that I have yet to have or may never have. I love to hear their stories, it makes me and them smile.

Always remember that with age comes wisdom, something the young does not have or can appreciate. In some Asian, European and African countries senior citizens are a treasure. As for me, I'm hoping to live and never die! Is that possible? Sure it is possible!

My favorite line is, I am not young enough to know everything. Have a great week.
