Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.

Completely irrelevant but . . I used to go by how well a bloke got on with his mother, now it's how well a bloke gets on with his daughter!

As you and the glasses you wear
grow progressively older: beware!
Don't waste time trying to look for
those glasses; the mirror
will tell you they're sitting right there.

I'm trying to grow old gracefully, but my body is like "LOL, today your neck is gonna hurt FOR NO REASON."

Sucks. Not going to get any art out this week. Having to come to decisions after hearing back from the doctor about an issue I have to deal with. Nothing immediately life-threatening, but could very well be if I fuck around. Doc wants to put me on meds that have some nasty side-effects, so I need to start making changes right quick and see if I can deal without the meds, first. : p #growingOld

I'm exited, because tomorrow I'll receive a bunch of comfy pillows for my seat. What happened to me?
#GrowingOld

70 is
+ Awesome - ‘I survived!’
+ Funny - 17 y/o to me ‘the Vietnam war was ____’
+ Painful -‘my back I can’t stand up”
+ Inexplicable - ‘how the hell did I sleep until 1pm”
+ Hurtful ‘some white girl who knows old tech’

Almost always inevitable.

My granny has become quite sick, can’t properly see and needs professional help. She just moved to an elder care home just before the festive days. I thought she would be crushed, but actually she is taking the change with pride and says for herself it’s the only reasonable thing to do. I’m so unbelievably happy for her that she finally took the step. #eldercare #responsibilities #lifedecisions #growingold

Wizened and chewy with what sweetness they already possessed.

Cranberries don't turn into something sweeter when they are dried.

Neither shall I.

#vss365 prompt: "Lust"

When I was young, I looked around
Saw the divine in all I found,
Inspired by the tiniest flower,
Awed by nature’s creative power.
Now old, I'm not sure whether to say
The Earth is too, or feels that way…
I don’t get up to watch the dawn,
And all my lust for life is gone.

Carve out 10 min to view this inspiring, beautiful short film by Forest Woodward, honoring his father's poem "The Important Places."

He takes us on a journey down the Colorado River + through the Grand Canyon, with his father.

It’s a meditation on #Love #Family #GrowingUp #GrowingOld & passing a connection to #Nature on to the next generation.

The world needs stories like this 💓

I think I've passed Beckett in terms of overall greyness. #CaptainBeckett #GrowingOld

Using moisturiser is like paying into a pension plan. You've got better things to do when you're 23. When you hit 65 it’s too late #GrowingOld #BeautyBonus #LifeSkills
