I was talking to my husband the other day that society should celebrate old age more as the current social norms really celebrate youth.

It's hard to find anything to celebrate about getting old.

Amen OB!!!

God didnt create man to die or grow old and have his life get more difficult.

We have put up enuff biblical stuff that explains why.I hope i am around to experience what God intended in the first place.Not to die and live in peace on a beautiful planet.

Wow, I get that feeling. You catch a photo of someone from way back and suddenly time taps you on the shoulder like, “hey, remember me?”
I’ve had my own “what on earth happened to my face?” moments lately too. Getting older really sneaks up on you — eyelashes going AWOL, joints clicking like old floorboards… the whole package.

I’m heading toward that “officially old” zone myself, and honestly? I’ve fully embraced the gadgets of age. My Bobsweep best rated for suction has basically become my tiny household sidekick. Since I’m not as fast or flexible as I used to be, it keeps the floors cleaner than I ever could on my own.

So yeah — we age, but at least we get cool robots out of the deal. 😉
