Today in the news was an article about the oldest person in the U.S. dieing. Whenever you see a picture of someone past 100 its depressing. They usually look like they are in horrible condition. Does anyone really want to be in that shape. I heard a comedian say, "your first birthday is a lot like your last birthday, you really don't know whats going on, someone has to blow out your candles, and then change your diaper."
On the other hand, there are times where you see someone in their 80's or 90's in great shape, doing activities that a 60 year old or even a 50 year old can handle. Those are real mood lifters. It would be great to get old and still be active and have a clear mind.
I recently came to a realization, that getting old is best enjoyed when you have someone to share it with (a spouse or family). Getting old alone, or by alone with your army of 20 cats would suck. That is the definition of a marriage, finding someone to share your time, energy, and experience with.
