AND there's more.... I like the last one.
Talk to yourself. There are times you need expert advice.
“In Style” are the clothes that still fit.
The biggest lie you tell yourself is, ” I don’t need to write that down. I’ll remember it.
Growing old should have taken longer.
Aging has slowed you down, but it hasn’t shut you up.
You still haven’t learned to act your age, and hope you never will.

And lets not forget a Taiwanese take as every country has its tradition: https://www.taiwanus.net/health/disease/19.htm

I. Face and accept the reality of getting old, its consequences and the limitations which growing old brings.
Act and behave your age. Quit fooling yourself by trying to look like you were in your youth.

II. Focus on enjoying people, not on indulging in, or accumulating material things.

III. Plan to spend whatever you have saved. You deserve to enjoy it, and the few healthy years you have left. Travel if you can afford it. Don't leave anything for your children or loved ones to quarrel about. By leaving anything, you may even cause more trouble when you are gone.

IV. Live in the here and now, not in the yesterdays and tomorrows. It is only today that you can handle.
Yesterday is gone, tomorrow may not even happen.

V. Enjoy your grandchildren (if you are blessed with any) but don't be their full time baby sitter. You have
no moral obligation to take care of them. Don't have any guilt about refusing to baby sit anyone's kids,
including your own grandkids. Your parental obligation is to your children. After you have raised them into
responsible adults, your duties of child-rearing and babystting are finished. Let your children raise their
own offsprings.

VI. Accept physical weakness, sickness, and other physical pains. It is a part of the aging process. Enjoy whatever your health can allow.

VII. Enjoy what you are and what you have right now. Stop working hard for what you do not have. If you do not have them, it's probably too late.

VIII. Just enjoy your life with your spouse, children, grandchildren and friends.., people, who truly love you, love you for yourself, not for what you have. Anyone who loves you for what you have will just give you you
misery.

IX. Forgive and accept forgiveness. Forgive yourself and others. Enjoy peace of mind and peace of soul.

X. Befriend death. It's a natural part of the life cycle. Don't be afraid of it. Death is the beginning of a new and better life. So, prepare yourself not for death, but for a new life.

"It's paradoxical that the idea of living a long life appeals to everyone,
but the idea of getting old doesn't appeal to anyone."
Andy Rooney

"The older I get, the better I used to be."
Lee Trevino

"Grandchildren don't make a man feel old, it's the knowledge that he's
married to a grandmother that does."
J. Norman Collie

"The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for."

"The older I get, the more clearly I remember things that never happened.

they can get."

Honestly, I understand why older people are willing to have it end having lived their entire lives one way then being told they can't take a joke.

It's a hoot how many people think everything revolves around the devil incarnated everything something is done in a dark motif. The big one at the Denver airport is that massive bunkers were dug first under everything.

[PinkDiamond]

A old German Shepherd starts chasing rabbits and before long, discovers that he's lost. Wandering about, he notices a panther heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch.

The old German Shepherd thinks, "Oh, oh! I'm in deep **** now!"

Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the panther is about to leap, the old German Shepherd exclaims loudly, "Boy, that was one delicious panther! I wonder if there are any more around here."

Hearing this, the young panther halts his attack in mid-strike, a look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees.

"Whew!" says the panther, "That was close! That old German Shepherd nearly had me!"

Meanwhile, a squirrel who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the panther. So, off he goes.

The squirrel soon catches up with the panther, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the panther.

The young panther is furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here, squirrel, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving canine!"

Now, the old German Shepherd sees the panther coming with the squirrel on his back and thinks, "What am I going to do now?" But instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn't seen them yet, and just when they get close enough to hear, the old German Shepherd says.

(Now this made me smile!)

"Where's that squirrel? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another panther!"

Moral of this story…

Don't mess with the old dogs. Age and skill will always overcome youth and treachery!

Brilliance only comes with age and experience.

Hahaha. That was a new one to me. God Bless the "folly of youth" or more of us "old dogs" would be in trouble. You can't always compensate lack of wisdom with viciousness. LOL.
