I recently noticed what appear to be age spots on my skin.What's up with that? I'm slowly getting more gray hair, less hair, and the most alarming symptom...hair redistribution. I started to make old guy noises several years ago. I noticed that I sometimes make grunting noises while doing simple tasks like picking things up off the floor. I am not excited about getting old.
I try to take good care of myself. I play basketball regularly with college students half my age. They refer to me as "the old guy". I also try to stay young by being immature and childish whenever I can get away with it.Why did I label this post "how to age gracefully"? Probably just to get people to read it. I'm sorry I have no idea how to stop time, but I did find some quotes about aging on the Internet that I liked.
A man is not old as long as he is seeking something. ~Jean Rostand
Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of eighty and gradually approach eighteen. ~Mark Twain
Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. ~Samuel Ullman
Youth is when you're allowed to stay up late on New Year's Eve. Middle age is when you're forced to. ~Bill Vaughn
You can't turn back the clock. But you can wind it up again. ~Bonnie Prudden
Regular naps prevent old age, especially if you take them while driving. ~Author Unknown

you have to be young and foolish before you can be old and wise.
hair redistribution, too funny.
Hey, great post! Aging super sucks for sure. I'm not making old man noises yet. Thank goodness.
Love the quotes. Especially the one about napping. Maybe I'll try it one of these times.
Just last night, Splenda and I were having this discussion. Where did the last 20 years go and how did we suddenly start looking so old?
Kinda sucks
This all happened to me within the last year. But I'm a decade younger. Sob.
Well, if it makes you feel any better, I never thought Matt Damon would ever age, but he looks really old in his latest movie.
And I think I left you happy facebook birthday, which we all know, facebook birthday wishes are always heartfelt and sincere.
Well fortunately I don't have to look at me so most of it is somebody else's problem!! I agree with the youthful attitude though no matter what your chronological age - that will keep you young ACTING, even if you need a cane to get around! Nice post! W.C.C.
I've been getting gray but still no balding. Phew!
Old guy noises! Hopefully the only old man noise I make when I pick something up is a grunt.
Great post. But a little too true...
