do you now agree with this sentiment?  I will have to do some different thinking on this one.

Absolutely yes -- but I do miss some things about being younger.

I'd like to go back and do some of it again, but I'm glad I made it this far and appreciate the time I've had.   And hopefully will have lots more.

When you consider that we all either grow old or die young, which would you choose?  

Strive for respect instead of attention. It lasts longer.

I'm glad to still be here, and grateful for what I've learned, however there are a few days old age is a " gift "  I would rather return. 😁

Every day above ground, is a good day.

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

@newname0 

 

Unless something has been discovered that I don't know about, I prefer this over the second option.

Growing old .... sure beats the alternative!

 

I'm 78, and I often have to stop and remind myself I'm not as young as I used to be.

Of course still being alive is a gift.  Why would moving through life ever be a burden?  It is just a path.
