Title: Are you afraid of getting old?
Post by: audreyprsns10 on July 15, 2011, 12:56:45 pm
Afraid of getting old?  I am, because there is yet so much that I haven't done with my life yet.  I don't want to get too old to fulfill my purpose.  Besides, I'm not financially prepared for retirement yet.

I am just not looking forward to wrinkles, saggy breast and boring weekends at home with 2 annoying kids and a husband. Other then that no.  :icon_rr:

Not at all. I'll be 40 next year, and am the happiest I've ever been in my life. You couldn't pay me enough money to go back to my 20s or early 30s!

No, I don't fear getting old or dying.  Getting old is a part of this earthly life's blessings, dying is apart of eternal life's blessing for me.

No, it's all part of the human life cycle.  We enter this earth and then we leave.   :peace:

I'd better not be 'cause it's creeping up on a dead run...lol  The big 70 is just a few months away but who cares...every day I see people a lot younger than me that look and act a lot older.  Age is what you make it.  My dad was a timber faller here in Oregon.  He was still doing that at 70.  Like they say......you gotta be tough to live in the west.  :wave: :wave:

lol I love that one Mom.

No I am not afraid of getting old. Age is just a number to me. Even though I am in my 30s I still feel like I am in my 20s. Though I have matured past my age. I am planning on enjoying this life while I can. I am also not afraid of death.

Not really, I am just afraid of not living life to its fullest.

Not afraid but I am disappointed. There are so many things I wanted to do that I won't be able to. I won't even live long enough to read all the books I've purchased. So of course it just means prioritizing and setting new, more realistic goals.

No, there is nothing I can do about it, I'm trying to face it (wrinkles and grey hair) a day at a time...

My best friend and I are both the same age just 2 days a part. His girl friend is 10 years younger than and she is still in her mid 20s. She just had her birthday and promptly told me she was getting old. I asked her so what does that make us antiques? She said no Ancient lol. I sure don't feel like an Antique much less being Ancient lol

No, I am not afraid of getting old!    My biggest thing is to enjoy life to the fullest while you are here.   Spending time with family and loved ones is whats most important!

Possibly afraid in the sense that I don't want my kids to have to take care of me. I am watching my dad take care of my grandparents, and it's really sad. I think the WORLD of my Dad for it, but I just see how "emotionally" its really hard for him.

Looking forward to growing older. After all we are living longer. 50 is the new 40. And if you are especially blessed with not looking your age it's even better.

Nope I am just afraid that I will be eating cat food and not getting everything back that  I worked for. Guess I should play the lottery. ::)
