A reflection on old age, Aging is not bad

While aging often involves a gradual loss of our previous physical abilities, I believe it also includes the development of new memories, skills, and wisdom that last. Many of us have mixed feelings about old age. As we approach our so-called "old age," we sometimes longingly reflect on those parts of life that we are missing. As young people, for example, most of us take our physical abilities for granted. We seem to consider ourselves invulnerable. However, as we get older we realize that little by little we have become more susceptible to ailments and diseases.

My hope is that we can live this reality with all the experienced and wise people and resources with which God has graced us.
