Old age is like the horizon.

[guillaumeb]

One can see it in the distance, but one never arrives there.

That is what I say to myself, and to my wife, when we are walking.

1. Just don't fall down.

[guillaumeb]

4. I tripped on that horizon one time.

But I was younger then, and under the influence of something.

[lunatica]

2. Hell! I'm still waiting to become a grownup!

How do you know when you’re a grownup? Does it just hit you over the head like a fairy smacking you with her wand? I can’t figure it out.

So my way of seeing it is that once I’m a grownup then I’ll deal with growing old. Voilá.

[guillaumeb]

5. An excellent thought. eom

3. A lot of "old" is a state of mind.

People always are surprised we are as old as we are. I say, So are we.

[guillaumeb]

6. I was busy living, and doing things, and suddenly,

I wondered who that older person was in my mirror. It looked like my father.

[LakeArenal]

7. State of mind. Not a reflection in a mirror.

8. "There's been a load of compromisin', On the road to my horizon...."

"But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me!"
