Face the facts you're getting older

Where did all this gray hair come from is the question that I keep asking myself? When I looked in the mirror the other day and I realized much to my surprise that I am getting older. My chest that looked so good did have black hair and now turning gray.

Life is filled with peaks and valleys and the facts that you must learn to survive. The first an most important is that only 2 things are certain, and that is life and death. What you do within the begining and the end is the extra. Nothing is guaranteed. I have lived my life hoping and wishing that I did things different this way or that, but lets face it what I did in my life, was what it was!

I never valued being a kid, always wished for the day when I would grow up. Unfortunately when that wish came true,  the price I paid was- I got older and closer to death..
.
Lets face it I am getting older and I am not the man I used to be. My body does not respond like it used too, and what worked good, just works now!

I have gain something called patience and plenty of understanding, but trying to share it with your kids is like trying to pull a stubborn wisdom tooth, (you need plenty effort).

Older would be a term that describes me now... When I graduated in 1981 things were so different. My world was just beginning and so many things were happening all around me. Much to my surprise when I hear some songs on the radio, it shocks me back into reality of wow that was 30 years ago! I laugh at myself sometimes when I think back to days gone by when people were my age, I used to think that they are old... Although some how, I don't feel that way now!

You never know that you are getting older until you look into the mirror one day and you see gray hair. My children are 18 and getting ready to go to college and I am shocked to say, I am almost 50!

Getting older is the day you walk into a store and girls are not looking at you because you look good, but because you are that old guy!

Your dance that was considered contemporary when you were young is out of date and exposes you for how old your are...

Unfortunately the things that help to solidify the fact that you are getting older is when the aunts and uncle's are gone and you are the old head....

So face the fact you have gotten older!!!
