Age is must time
Wisdom in rhyme

I don't feel my age or act it.

Being older is great, I may be wrinkling round the edges. I'm more selective choosing my friends and I care less of what others think of me.

I love growing older as the alternative is way less appealing!

It's not very nice getting old with all the aches and pains and saggy bits but the alternative is worse!

Being old is great because I have a bus pass and a bicycle. What more could I want?

When menapause symptoms hit me on Christmas Day the year before last,
(my poor kids), I realised that I finally had 'got older' but after getting over the shock, in a way, I find I don't mind . I have my children and a dog that keep me fit .I have hair dye, and I can still walk in high heels on occasion. I wear what I want to wear, not necessarily 'mutton dressed as lamb' but more 'wrinkly with attitude'. There are things I haven't done . I am still planning to learn to drive and I want to climb to Machu Picchu and I don't rule out ice skating just yet either. Inside I am 16 and always will be. its just that my body is now operating in slow motion. love life and live it to the full, cos it doesnt do encores.

I don't mind being in my sixties, but I do envy the young their ability to sleep deeply and peacefully, all night long, even on uncomfortable couches, on planes or on floors. And it's utterly wasted on them - what do they do? Take drugs to help them stay awake!

I am still a young oldie, and I wonder, despite my aches and pains and deepening wrinkles, if I will ever really think of myself as old as long as I am fortunate enough to still have my own parents here. It's all relative, and they definitely help me to keep my own age in perspective!

I am an entry level oldie and life is great, freedom from work and worry, full of fun and family. However properly aged and infirm is not for the faint hearted and I fear I am too much of a wimp for it.

Sheer fright about any future illnesses, hospitals, hospices etc. Delight at hopefully overcoming former sentence and 'eliminating the negative , accelerating the positive' as the song goes!

Sheer Terror about future illnesses , hospitals, hospices etc. Delight at overcoming former problems and 'eliminating the negative, accentuating the positive' as the song goes!

its all aches and pains after 50

Love getting older - become more wiser and more experienced and just appreciate everyday in it's own special way

I'm certainly getting more aches and pains now, but one things for sure I wouldn't be a teenager again for all the tea in china!

Age is just a number not a state of mind

Getting older makes it easier to forget how great it was to be young! That's natures way of making the aging process more bearable.

Last night on Graham Norton Miriam Margolyes claimed to be very old at 72, this morning on Radio 4 Yottam Ottolenghi said he was ancient at 45. I caught the bus with my 100 year old neighbour who is always telling me I'm far too young to have a bus pass, ageing is THE most subjective process!

I am much happier now that I am older. I can do what I like, eat and drink what I like, go where I like with whomever I like and actually afford to do it!

I don't feel any different inside. I just wish the outer packaging felt the same way!

Did I really say that!!!

The joy of getting old is being able to pretend that you can't remember what you said or did!

When you see your reflection and for the first time you see an old person looking back at you it can be somewhat of a shock. That moment is when you make a decision, to grow old gracefully or fight; both have their advantages

I don't want to get old cause my spirit is still so young

Live your life right now - today. You don't know what's going to happen tomorrow - and this is for every day, not just us oldies.

Fabulous fun, free time, do what we want, enjoying life.
