There have seemed to be a lot of 60th birthdays just recently. I guess the Baby Boomer generation is coming of age.
 With this age comes a time for reflection, not least of which is that you're only as old as you feel!  They say that youth is wasted on the young but another view is that youth is a gift, but age is a work of art!
    Growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional! Age also means that you probably remember the Dead Sea when it was just sick!
    The good news is that nobody tells you to slow down but the bad news is that you and your teeth don't sleep together anymore! Actually the secret of staying young is to live honest, arrange your hair instead of combing it, eat slowly … and lie about your age!
    An interesting aspect of age is to see your childhood in a toy museum and, in the end, it's not the years in your life that count it's the life in your years.
    Old age isn't so bad when you consider the alternative and besides, age is something that doesn't matter, unless you're wine or cheese! You still have a full deck, you just shuffle slower and recently you might have been amazed at how young your doctor seems.
    Having read all the above, now try to find one that doesn't apply to you! And a final thought … there's nothing left to learn the hard way!
