You can’t help getting older, but you don’t have to get old.
On December 11th I turned 79. People ask me how I feel being 79. I say to them, mentally I'm still Kenny from South Philly. When I look in the mirror, I say to myself: 'who is that old guy." I believe you age physically, but you don't have to age mentally - Kenny Felderstein
My wonderful wife, Joyce sent me quotes from famous people I want to share with you:
There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of the people you love.
Why are people afraid of getting older? You feel wiser. You feel more mature. You feel like you know yourself better. You would trade that for softer skin? Not me!
The older you get, the more fragile you understand life to be. I think that’s good motivation for getting out of bed joyfully each day.
You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.
In youth we learn; in age we understand.
Aging gracefully means being flexible, being open, allowing change, enjoying change, and loving yourself.
Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been.
We are always the same age inside.
We turn not older with years, but newer every day.
I see retirement as just another of these reinventions, another chance to do new things and be a new version of myself.
Why wouldn't I want to celebrate every crease in my brow, all that hard-earned wisdom that lives between the folds?
The longer I live, the more beautiful life becomes.
A human being would certainly not grow to be 70 or 80 years old if this longevity had no meaning for the species to which he belongs. The afternoon of human life must also have a significance of its own and cannot be merely a pitiful appendage to life’s morning.
