Funny and Helpful Hints About Aging and Growing Older

Just before the funeral services, the undertaker came up to the very elderly widow and asked, “How old was your husband?” “98,” she replied. Two years older than me.”

“So you’re 96,” the undertaker commented.

She responded, “Hardly worth going home, is it?”

I thought maybe you’d need a smile today. Aging isn’t easy. Health concerns become clearer and we become more sensitive to how our bodies are changing.

Be encouraged that what you have learned in this life will give you even more insight and wisdom as you age.

1. Keep your skin glowing – drink lots of water

2. Make sure you smile – you’ll look younger and more vibrant automatically

3. Stay mobile – take classes if you have to – or stretch at home

4. Eat nutritiously and make sure you get enough protein – it will help you keep your muscle strength

5. Project an attitude of gratitude and grace – your mind will stay young

Be kind as you age, because your children will choose your nursing home.

Smile – laugh – share -have plans – relax when you need to and get enough sleep so that you can move on each day into an exciting new adventure. Funny and helpful hints about aging will make you more optimistic too!

Hi Jan! I agree with your hints about aging gracefully! I will be 65 this year, which used to sound old to me, but now does not! I truly don't feel much different than when I was 30 years younger, other than I think I am a little wiser and more in touch with who I am as a person...probably more patient and definitely more compassionate. And i agree that eating well, exercise and good sleep are key components to feeling well no matter what your age may be! So much of what keeps us "young" is our attitude and our ability to love ourselves and then love others as we love ourselves! Our inner spirits, as well as our bodies, need to be kept healthy and fed well, exercised and allowed to experience renewing rest!
