Let us grow old gracefully

We engage in so many activities daily that before we give it so much thought, pains here and there which were unnoticed become prominently attended to. So this is the time when aging becomes more fact than fiction.

My fellow senior citizens can attest to this gnawing fear that haunts each of us. The advice of the expert is for us to grow old gracefully. I hasten to add - wisely and spiritually and financially. Why gracefully? It is because in life some facts are given and  if you gracefully agree then quality if more vital than quantity of living. Why wisely? It is because it takes time to become wise but somehow as a gift it comes to every senior person with prayer and reflection so accept it as a gift. Why spiritually? It is because it is a gradual awakening that indeed after living for more than fifty years, it is such a huge privilege to have lived for such a long time and it reaches a spiritual plane. Why financially? It is because sad to say we still need money for sustenance and savings should be given much attention if your old age is decent and that you avail of the basic necessities which are doubled due to old age.

So let us grown old gracefully, wisely, spiritually and financially fellow elders and smile:)
