Growing Old Gracefully... [Archive]

To be honest with you, I don't believe my mind is gonna accecpt the phrase.."Grow OLD Gracefully"..I have a Very Very young SPIRIT,and I'm young at heart...and NO I didn't say I'm not going to grow old, that would be foolish to make such a comment, unless one dies at a very unfortunate age like my Angel boy Ian at age 23, eveyone is gonna grow old....:rolleyes: sooooo, That is what that phrase means to me... .:moon: :poopin: :jam:

Thank you so much for the viewing of the full moon GGG... where's my BB gun when I need it. LMBO!!:D ;)

First I think the phrase to Hollywierd and the music industry means that at the age of 55 you have no wrinkles, no fat, & no sagging with or without the help of plastic surgery. And of course grey hair is a no-no, especially for women in Hollyweird and the music industry.

However, to me growing old gracefully means to accept that you are growing old without fighting it. On my ex-mother-in-law's 40th birthday, some ladies told her that it's time to get the hair cut and start dressing her age... meaning, cut your hair really short, get a poodle frizz perm, and wear nasty "old ladies" clothes made of scratchy polyester. Needless to say my ex-mother-in-law was horrified that her elder friend (50+) suggested such a thing.

She didn't listen to them of course. She still wears her shoulder length hair in a stylish way and wears some stylish modern looking outfits and has a few grey hairs but refuses to cover them up. She says, "I've earned every last grey hair on my head... I'm proud of them." She also has a young spirit... she get's out there with her grandkids and play on the trampoline and play tag with them, and even go bike riding with them and watch cartoons with them.

I myself feel the same way as my ex-mother-in-law. Some of my older friends say, "Oh you're still young... you'll feel differently once you get a lot older." I don't think so though. I myself am young at heart and I feel I always will be.

So that is what growing old gracfully means to me.

Yes, it's hard to imagine at your age. But what it means to me is that as you get older in body (aches and pains, gray hair, a few extra pounds) it doesn't mean you have to lose your youthful enthusiasm for life. People sometimes think they have to act a certain way when they reach a certain age, numbers-wise. Everyone grows up, but I for one, will never be old in spirit. It just isn't in me. I hope that explained it a little.

...accepting the physical changes that I don't mind, like the silver strands and the laugh lines, while also struggling with the 'less acceptable' changes, such as vision (ugh). It also makes me feel like I am stripping away old veils, as a favorite notecard reads, "We grow neither better nor worse as we get old, but more like ourselves."--May Becker

You have SILVER strands? Lucky you. Mine are white. I'm not quite thirty so I still dye my hairs red, but when I'm 50, if my hairs are all white I will dye them silver. I think that's gorgeous.

Silver hair is beautiful. It's those nasty grey ones that keep popping up in the back that I hate. It would be different if they were in the front where I could see them, but those nasty buggers hide in the back so only those standing behind me can see them and comment.:mad:

Ok, confession time here....been chemically enhancing the hue of my hair for more than a decade....Not ready to see all that white yet. It's my one nod to vanity...Alas, I have been gray since my 20s as have all my Irish aunts:D. Got my first gray stand at 15!

(yet) have always gone with the darker colors..I like burgandy!! but once I found out Scott likes blondes!! well, you all know me..had to try the blonde frost!! Used to die it blonde in my teenage days..can't do the all over blonde now though, too hard to keep up!! And I too, myself, will not let myself grow old, I have way too much fun trying to be younger!! Thanx to Creed and music, I've regressed in age over the past 6 months or so and loving every minute of it!! "My youth will NEVER DIE!!" :dancing:

double pnuemonia at 60
emphasema at 61

who knows what's next

some people are lucky, still running marathons at 65

When I went to see Incubus and was on the rail I was the oldest person there. At one point in the show the guy next to me pointed to a woman probably in her late thirties who was dancing and enjoying the music and said "look at that old lady over there" I had to take the opportunity to give him a somewhat playful smack on the arm for being a little brat.

lol Ruby I wish my fiance was a little more like you when it comes to music. He is 44 and I'm 28 and our tastes in music is so completely different. I love all the music he listens to... which is the mellow oldies from the 50's, 60's, and some 70's and some cool Contemporary Christian music from the late 60's and 70's, and some older country. However, that's where his music tastes stop. He absolutely hates anything "loud" and "noisey". He hates most of Creed's music... he did like WAWO and Higher, though. He often gives me looks that shows he's annoyed with the music I am listening to. I love ALL genres of music... lol even classical, celtic, and some rap and hip hop.... :eek: LOL

I'm just glad that our love isn't based on the music we listen to... we wouldn't be together then LOL :D

Hey listen, ladies,
I am X's age, and I think you need to go easy on him. Now, I admit, he does act awfully immature sometimes, and might give our age group a bad name. But I don't think his opinion disagreeing with yours justifies a cyber-beating. And I don't think calling him "little boy" was appropriate either. Age sees no difference, we are all united behind Creed.

To me it means not letting your physical age rule who you are or who others expect you to be. I keep waiting for the day when I wake up and feel I'm all grown up, but I'm still the same old me inside that I've always been. Inside I don't feel any older than I ever have. I have given up on the age thing anyway-stopped having official birthdays at 29-lol. I figure it is true what they say...You are as old as you feel. Some days my body tries to convince me that I'm not 18 anymore, but my soul doesn't agree so I'm going with my soul.

Enjoy life, live in the moment, and don't sweat the small stuff!

Don't know if I want to have kids anymore when I was sure before. Not sure where to take my career. Lost my father at age 47 in February and quit smoking. I think it scared the heck out of me! Help!

That is a super hard thing to do I heard and with all the stress your under with your dad, you must be a strong person!!! And hey I will be 30 in December and no don't worry, I feel like I have had a few life doubting moments myself. I don't have kids either yet, and don't worry about the hip thing it seems all of us women are bound to get that some day, just work hard to be happy in life, with the world the way it is it is all we have anymore!!!

Hey Aimee and Jen, I'm so sorry to hear about your losses. That is so tough. My thoughts and prayers are with you both.
I think it's a natural reaction to start questioning everything in your life after you lose somebody. It makes you think about your own mortality and what your purpose is in this life. I think Jen is right. While you're trying to figure it all out, work hard and try to be happy. For me, that means trying to make my little corner of the world a better place for everybody. I don't always succeed. I have bad days like everybody else. But it makes me happy to try to make other people happy. It's infectious.:)

I try to live my life like that, try to get a smile out of every one I run into.

Ok, sorry, I made a mistake. It's just, when I saw your post, I immediately became defensive of my age group. Too many times in the past I have been descriminated against online because I'm one of those "snotty teenagers." I just assumed that's what your post was intended to do. My bad, no harm meant:)

Hey Jrsman12, no problem, all is forgotten! It's people like you who make it fun to come to this board day after day, and we don't consider you a snotty teenager at all. I always give X a hard time and believe it or not, no one ever really knew X's real age for a very long time because he was never very truthful about it. Please don't think that we would discriminate against you because you are young. You bring a great deal of insight and fun to the bb!:P

I know you're right about me becoming aware of my own mortality. Also, my thoughts to not have kids is not a based on my physical fears as much as my concern over the future of our world. All of my friends tell me that babies are what make the world go around. And I know I would be a great mom. But I think I would rather foster a child that is already here (as difficult as that is), than bring a new one into a disaster. As far as making my corner of the world better, I think that is a priority for me these days, but I am only now finding my niche.
Jen, are you my age mid twenties?
