Win a luxury cabin break for four

I don't like the thought of getting older. In my mind I am still 21 but my body tells me differently. I can't do what I used to be able to do and that frustrates me.

would love this, need a break the start of the year has been traumatic and would love something to look forward to.

Being older is only a number, its how you feel on the inside.{smile]

i hate getting older because my body is giving up on me. mentally i'm ok, but everything hurts!

I reuse to think I am getting older, everybody else is just looking much younger, that's all!

I'm happy with the fact that I am more confident than in my youth but I hate to see the ever-increasing wrinkles on my face.

My Dad at 82 said he still felt young inside, now I am 79 I too still feel young inside, and then look in the mirror. Ugh.

I hate being this age and looking this old when I still haven't done anything! I especially haven't done anything for me yet : (

I'm finding it really scary how time is just flying by now - the fact that I'm half way through my life is terrifying but.....CONFIDENCE is now growing at an amazing rate. I suppose its some compensation!

I've always found this mantra, "It's better than the alternative", an uplifting yet sobering thought on getting older.

I've turned into a grumpy old woman! Totally intolerant of all the little annoying things that for years I just put up with!

I like the distance being older brings - things aren't quite so intense, there's more perspective from knowing the past. I don't so much like being peripheral, and passing a time when I had the energy ( and folly) to believe I could make things happen.

No problem with getting older just your body cant keep pace with what you want to do anymore.

The secret is that I am only 21 in my head not 64 like my body.

You're only as old as the woman you feel, as my wife keeps reminding me, so no problem!

The bad thing is knowing you are starting to look old and wrinkly, the even worse thing is that your eyesight is so weak you don't even notice when you look in the mirror !

I've got braver as I've got older and am not bothered so much about expressing my views - if others don't agree that's OK but they (and I) have to respect other's views. I am so concerned about younger people who feel they must 'keep their mouths shut' for fear of losing their jobs, being bullied, being ridiculed, etc because the current atmosphere engenders one that my mother would have recognised back in the 30s.

As I get older I seem to be turning into my mother, that could be seen as either a positive (wise, kind, generous, patient) or a negative (overweight, stiff-jointed, forgetful) but at least I know what's ahead.

I prefer being older and,unlike some,find I have not become "invisible" but people,even the youngsters,have more time for me.Just wish the arthritis didn't come with it!

I don't mind the getting old bit too much, but why didn't anyone tell me it's painful!! And what happened to my memory? No one told me I'd have the memory of a peanut at the age of 60!!

Being retired is good: don't have to get up early in the morning, and don't have to wear a suit and heels. Being old is bad: having got up can't get down stairs, and couldn't walk in heels if I wanted to!

I never thought I would be still working at the age of 61. Got 18 months to go and I hate feeling so tired. Looking forward to having more time and energy to enjoy grandchildren more.

The great thing about getting older is knowing what you want. The downside is everything starts to wear out.

I don't like getting older, as there are far too many people younger then me!

Don't worry about the past.its gone. Don't worry about the future . It's yet to come. Enjoy the present !
