he thought of aging scares me more than the act of dieing itself.
Some people fear the pain, the unknown involved in dieing, I fear aging something I know is going to happen and is happening everyday that passes.
It could be part vainity that my beauty will fade. The fact that my body will slowly deteriorate getting wrinklely, having age spots, and begin to shrink due to the years of gravity weighing down upon me but its also the mind the fact that my memory will become worse that I may lose my creativity and my ability to function fully.
These things scare me more than death itself.

 | Posted Jun 30th, 2007 at 7:24PM If you ask me, aging is a he*ll of a lot better than the alternative. I'm just over fifty now and life is better than ever! Six kids of mine are still running around the house making noise and playing guitar, piano, and video games; my oldest son built his own computer all by himself. It's a fantastic life, family and love all around me. Laughter, and no time to worry about a few wrinkles or aches/pains, I love it! We all went to our former piano teacher's birthday party today; she turned 100 years old! It was wonderful to see all the friends and family of hers there. She's looking good too, in a wheelchair but still sharp, remembers all our names easily. She has a lot of people that love her and she shows it. Don't despair. Live well and you'll turn out fine. Best regards, Ward |
