Great old movie recommendation for the elderly and beautiful:

Check out a movie (if you haven't already seen it): " The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel". So much there!, and I'm by nature a cynic.

Good advice Robert, and good for you. Life is a challenge, and no one can know what will take them and when it will, but if you keep moving at least you will enjoy your time here. =)

Just passed Neal's test allegedly beyond the average 45 yr old. At 74, it was a great gift and way to start the day thanks. And, now this old fart's going to hit the exercycle for an hour or so, after an hour swim in our pools. To all who can - keep moving otherwise you wind up as a receptacle for a metal parts shop.

Growing Old.

Some very true words to ponder.... I hope you enjoy.

As I've aged, I've become kinder to myself, and less critical of myself.
I've become my own friend.

I have seen too many dear friends leave this world, too soon; before
they understood the great freedom that comes with aging.

Whose business is it, if I choose to read, or play, on the computer,
until 4 AM, or sleep until noon? I will dance with myself to those
wonderful tunes of the 50, 60 & 70's, and if I, at the same time, wish
to weep over a lost love, I will.

I will walk the beach, in a swim suit that is stretched over a bulging
body, and will dive into the waves, with abandon, if I choose to,
despite the pitying glances from the jet set. They, too, will get old.

I know I am sometimes forgetful. But there again, some of life is just
as well forgotten. And, I eventually remember the important things.

Sure, over the years, my heart has been broken.
How can your heart not break, when you lose a loved one, or when a child suffers,
or even when somebody's beloved pet gets hit by a car?
But, broken hearts are what give us strength, and understanding, and compassion.
A heart never broken, is pristine, and sterile, and will never know the joy of being
imperfect.

I am so blessed to have lived long enough to have my hair turning grey,
and to have my youthful laughs be forever etched into deep grooves on my
face. So many have never laughed, and so many have died before their
hair could turn silver.

As you get older, it is easier to be positive. You care less about what
other people think. I don't question myself anymore. I've even earned
the right to be wrong.

So, to answer your question, I like being old. It has set me free. I
like the person I have become. I am not going to live forever, but while
I am still here, I will not waste time lamenting what could have been,
or worrying about what will be. And I shall eat dessert every single
day (if I feel like it).

You are correct, Carl, aging is not a disease.

Comment by Carl Pastor on December 9, 2012 at 10:37pm

i have to say that i object to ageing being classified as a health problem.in my case my chldhood was a health problem if your gonna start classifying in that way. whatever age you are in not a problem, its sickness and accidents that are the causes of problems, no age.  and let me remind you death can happen at any age.
