Growing Older

Growing older may be the hardest thing you ever have to do.
My advice is not to fight it too savagely. You can't win. Grow old gracefully and always act (and dress) your age. George Carlin offers up some advice at the URL provided below but I find some of his 'pearls' to be a little simplistic.
1. Laugh often...easily said but not easily done unless you mean phony laughs. Surely laughing has to be spontaneous and natural.
2. Endure grief...I don't think we have any choice here. Grief is painful and we each must find our own way to deal with it.
3. Tell people that you love them. ...Telling people that you love them whether you're 19 or 90 means very little. Show them that you love them by making sacrifices on their behalf is far more meaningful. I used to tell my students that before entering into marriage they should ask themselves, "Would I give my life for him/her and if the answer is 'NO' then you don't really love the person. Love is a giving thing not a taking thing.
