    Memory loss is the first...

    Not being as quick at things mentally anymore...

    Achy muscles

    Sleep patterns get upset

    Losing one's youth to deal with........

    Feel like 18 mentally but cannot keep up with it all...

    The good part is :

    I don't owe anyone an apology for being who and what I am

    You don't have to keep up with the fast paced world anymore

    You get to retire and relax

    You have more patience with the world and young people

    You can offer wisdom to those so much younger than us........

    Pros and cons to everything in life....it is all how you perceive it and deal with it.

    The older you get, the better you become.

    The older you get, the more you realize you're not as smart as you thought you were. That's when you really learn more and enjoy it.

    The older you get, the more you enjoy whom you are.

    The older you get, the more you realize how unimportant many problems really are. (Priorities change, for the better!)

    With age comes confidence and less worries about what others think.

    With age comes knowledge and experience that only age can bring.
