Keep your heart unwrinkled, first and foremost......

Some uplifting quotes from "Beliefnet" on aging.......

Nothing Is Young Except Spirit
"Nothing is inherently and invincibly young except spirit. And spirit can enter a human being perhaps better in the quiet of old age and dwell there more undisturbed than in the turmoil of adventure." --George Santayana

Forever Young
"Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young." Ben Franklin

Finding the Fountain of Youth
"There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age." Sophia Loren

The Season of Harvest
"For the unlearned, old age is winter; for the learned, it is the season of the harvest."--Hasidic saying

Being a Work of Art
"Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, but beautiful old people are works of art." Eleanor Roosevelt

A New Opportunity
"Aging is not lost youth but a new stage of opportunity and strength." Betty Friedan

Keep the Heart Unwrinkled
"To keep the heart unwrinkled, to be hopeful, kindly, cheerful, reverent--that is to triumph over old age." Thomas Bailey Aldrich

We Are Not Victims
"We are not victims of aging, sickness, and death. These are part of scenery, not the seer, who is immune to any form of change. This seer is the spirit, the expression of eternal being." Deepak Chopra

Less to Be Anxious About
"The best part about being my age is in knowing how my life worked out." Scott Adams

Youth Shows But Half
"Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be, The last of life, for which the first was made: Our times are in his hands Who sayeth 'a whole I planned, Youth shows but half; Trust God; see all nor be afraid.'" Robert Browning

It's Never Too Late
"It's never too late to have a fling
For autumn is just as nice as spring.
And it's never too late to fall in love." --Sandy Wilson

Growing Old vs. Growing Up
"Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional." --Chili Davis

It's much easier to be old when healthy than it is to be old and sickly, so do your best to live an all-around healthy lifestyle. Health, like retirement savings, pays attractive dividends. -VPL
