I was given a little book today with little quips about getting older. Some of them are funny; some are thought-provoking. Thought I'd share a few.
"Old age is not a disease; it is a strength and survivorship, [which] triumph over all kinds of vicissitudes and disappointments, trials and illnesses" - Maggie Kuhn
"Old age is like climbing a mountain. You climb from ledge to ledge. The higher you get, the more tired and breathless you become, but your views become more extensive." - Ingrid Bergman
"Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of eighty and gradually approach eighteen." - Mark Twain (I'm not sure I totally agree, but it was an interesting perspective!)
"Inside every seventy-year-old there is a thirty-five-year-old asking 'What happened'" - Ann Landers
And since I live with teenager girls, the next one resonated with me . . .
"Middle age is when you're sitting at home on Saturday night and the telephone rings and you hope it's not for you." - Ogden Nash
