On Aging
On Aging
*Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? *If you're less than ten years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions. "How old are you?" "I'm four and a half." You're never 36 and a half ...you're four and a half going on 5. *You get into your teens; now they can't hold you back. You jump into the next number. "How old are you?" "I'm gonna be 16." *Then the great day of your life; you become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony. You BECOME 21...Yes!!! *Then you turn 30. What happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk. HE TURNED; we had to throw him out. What's wrong? What changed? You BECOME 21; you TURN 30. *Then you're PUSHING 40....stay over there. You REACH 50. *So you BECOME 21; you TURN 30; you're PUSHING 40; you REACH 50; then you MAKE IT to 60. *By then you've built up so much speed, you HIT 70. After that, it's a day by day thing. You HIT Wednesday... *You get into you're 80's; you HIT lunch, you HIT 4:30 My grandmother won't even buy green bananas. "Well, it's an investment, you know, and maybe a bad one." *And it doesn't end there... *Into the 90's, you start going backwards. "I was JUST 92." *Then a strange thing happens; if you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. "I'm 100 and a half." *And remember - growing old is only mind over matter: if you don't mind, it don't matter. :281: |
