Today I realized that while I had a set of reading glasses on my face, I also had a set hanging from a chain around my neck and a pair on my head! OMG!!!

When I was young I always wanted to have year-round tan. Now I have one, it's just that it comes in patches.
Now as for getting older, let have some fun. Here are a few games that us older vo folk play...lol
1. Sag, you're It.
2. Hide and go pee.
3. 20 questions shouted into your good ear.
4. Kick the bucket
5. Red Rover, Red Rover, the nurse says Bend Over.
6. Musical recliners.
7. Simon says - something incoherent.
8. Pin the Toupee on the bald guy

Positive Aging
Here's a little something I received recently from a friend. For those of us who are on the "other side of the hill" the message will ring very true. And if you're one of the young ones in our group, well. . . you might just like it too.
Old Age, I’ve decided, is a gift.
I am now, probably for the first time in my life, the person I have always wanted to be.
But, I'm not talking about body!
I sometimes despair over my body, the wrinkles, the baggy eyes,and the sagging butt. And often I am taken aback by that old person who lives in my mirror (and looks like my mother), but I don't agonize over those things for long.
I would never trade my amazing friends, my wonderful life, or my loving family for less gray hair or a flatter belly. As I've aged, I've become more kind to myself, and less critical of myself. I've become my own friend.
I don't chide myself for eating that extra cookie, or for not making my bed, or for buying that silly cement gecko that I didn't need, but looks so great on my patio. I am entitled to a treat, to be messy, to be extravagant.
I have seen too many dear friends leave this world too soon; before they understood the great freedom that comes with aging. Whose business is it if I choose to read or play on the computer until 4 AM and sleep until noon?
I will dance with myself to those wonderful tunes of the 60 & 70's, and if I, at the same time, wish to weep over a lost love... I will.
I will walk the beach in a swim suit that is stretched over a bulging body, and will dive into the waves with abandon if I choose to, despite the pitying glances from the jet set. They, too, will get old.
I know I am sometimes forgetful. But there again, some of life that is just as well forgotten.
And I eventually remember the important things.
Sure, over the years my heart has been broken. How can your heart not break when you lose a loved one, or when a child suffers, or even when somebody's beloved pet gets hit by a car? But broken hearts are what give us strength and understanding and compassion. A heart never broken is pristine and sterile and will never know the joy of being imperfect.
I am so blessed to have lived long enough to have my hair turning gray and to have my youthful laughs be forever etched into deep grooves on my face. So many have never laughed, and so many have died before their hair could turn silver.
As you get older, it is easier to be positive. You care less about what other people think. I don't question myself anymore. I've even earned the right to be wrong.
So, to answer your question, I like being old. It has set me free. I like the person I have become. I am not going to live forever, but while I am still here, I will not waste time lamenting
what could have been, or worrying about what will be.
And I shall eat dessert every single day… if I feel like it.
