We grow older and older but we should not say we are old. That word has terrible connotations! Call yourself a mature adult, one with wisdom and experience. Old age is equated with weakness, frality, loss of independence. That should be the only thing or the main thing about being old.
The Bible says that there is a season for everything. So an "old" person is in the season for resting, indulgence and sharing of wisdom and experience.
You can still appreciate life and old its beauty. The younger ones in your family will love hearing tales of your youth. Surprise them about how once, you used to kick off your shoes and dance.
Lift up your hands and admire your hard earned wrinkles and spots. Smile at yourself in the mirror and just see that smile and the twinkle that remains in your eyes.
Leap into the air and kick out, if only in your mind. There is still life in you yet. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
