Win a luxury cabin break for four

You can't do anything about it so why worry about it?

Age brings a sence of freedom.
Gone are the stilleto heels.
I don't feel the need to conform to expected standards and opinions, anymore .. I am not afraid to go against the grain, and set my own standards, and voice my real opinions.
I notice that my first comment was, gone are the stilletos.
I think that is important in under standing the freedom of age.
Its wearing flat, comfy shoes, and saying this is who I really am .. take me, or leave me.

I find the odd things hard, turning around and hurting your back, what is that about!!

As my cousin's husband said "Having grandchildren is your reward for being a parent". What more positive statement on ageing could you find.

I hate the invisibility of it - where young people don't even seem to see you and I really miss being wolf-whistled at.

Some people can be old at 60. Others can be young at 80.

I'm getting older but I'm getting fitter. I feel brilliant and when my daughters come home from Uni they always say how much younger I am/look than their friends' Mums. That's good enough for me.

we all approach or accept ageing differently. I'm sure there are many people that fear it and just as many that embrace it.

I personally have chosen to embrace it, I don't like the idea of getting older but its all about embracing your age just because you are getting older doesn't mean you have to act your age. Just do and act what makes you feel comfortable, young and love yourself.

I do find with getting older I do learn more and don't get so wound up about things

I don't mind getting older but with that comes more aches and pains and it takes longer to heal

At least you can stop worrying about some of the wrinkles on your face as they'll soon be covered up by the whiskers on your chin.

QUITE HAPPY WITH THE AGEING PROCESS. ADVANTAGES OUTWEIGH DISADVANTAGES

METAMORPHOSIS in old age:
The ability to become a "no pin number required" ATM

As I get older I try to squeeze in a few last adventures while I am able. Then when I am to old I will have my memories and my photo's.

I don't have birthdays any more I let the kids have them instead!

Finally, I am only responsible for myself, I may wish to help my offsprings but they have a mind to be ( Silverbacks, or Alpha Dogs ) therefore I am reponsible for and to myself and it is uplifting.

I like the wisdom that comes with age and also how that helps you put your problems into perspective, but I in my mind I think of myself as 18, so sometimes scare myself when I look in the mirror some mornings lol

Starting to become a bit tattered around the edges, but a little spring clean of the old cogs and I am fit again for the grandchildren

Almost a lifetime of experiences has given me so much that I want to share with my daughters. It has also taught me that I must not, under any circumstances, force my opinions and thoughts on them - only share them when asked.

I'm happy enough to be getting older. It sure beats the alternative...

The mirror lies!!

I don't mind getting older gracefully in looks, but what I am most concerned is losing my memories and mind!!

I don't mind getting old gracefully, however the only thing I am concerned is losing my mind!!

Glad I'm not the only one Gally. Woke up feeling particularly grumpy

I think they have all forgotten the two sentence rule Ana, and I just broke it. But then I'm not entering, honest, I don't want a bloody cabin break I just want this thread to go away! Told you I was grumpy

Nightowl I too have been wondering when it was going to stop. Maeve Haran will certainly have her work cut out trawling through this lot!
