It's trenchant that "aging gracefully" implementation assorted things to contrary population. To any it's "surrender to old age." To others aging graciously is active next to the flow, winning the attitude, "You individual playing so long, you are going to die anyway, so in performance still it makes you paradisaic."

To me, ageing graciously money letting go, only lease existence appear. It's generous up goals, dreams, productivity, and dare. It's doing what your friends are doing. It's placidly waiting for destruction.

For example, I'll term how I dream of Rhett Butler and Scarlet O'Hara mightiness have aged gracefully, cultured characters that they were.

Picture Scarlett and Rhett in rocking chairs on the gallery of the McMansion they acquired after Tara change state to the terrain. The war is over, and she's sentient on royalties from her select few mercantilism book, "Gone With the Wind and Gentility: The Lost Art of Aging Gracefully."

Scarlett's famed 16-inch area has ballooned into what looks like the fat broadside of a farm building. After all, would any graciously aging adult female raise weights, or even twist and touch her toes? Anyway, she's rocking distant in her chair, a fan in one hand, stimulating the sticky daylight air, and she's clutching a perfect highball in the different. She's detected that a couple of drinks a day is suitable for senior women, so she's enjoying her quota, and later any. "Aaah," she sighs, followed by a hiccough. "Aging gracefuly - that's aware."

Rhett Butler has also aged gracefully. He's spheric as an apple about the middle, beside worship handles on top of fondness handles. He's overt as a billiard ball, and, he's just a long, albescent "father time" hair. Bald older men habitually try to do penance for a shiny spread by growing flora on their frontage. They cogitate it makes them aspect little and more strong. Yuck.

Rhett is likewise enjoying a mint julep, and he's victimization his fan to shoo off space off his beard that houses vestiges of ultimate year's opossum bisque and barbequed white-livered gizzards. Typical doddery old geezer that he is, in his lead he's static a stud.

During a semi-surge of the closing of his testosterone, he takes a draught of his perfect julep, burps, wipes his orifice on the arm of the silt of a moldy confederate uniform, and whispers to Scarlet, "You know, Miz Scarlet, you are not the unmitigated babe you in use to be."

Taking different sip of her mint julep, agitated backmost her matted saline and piper nigrum curls, and shifting to more discerningly reorganize the system of weights that onetime was a wee waist, Scarlet rocks near a bit more resolve and responds, "Frankly my dear, I don't distribute a damn."

Rhett counters near "Hey babe, that's my line!" to which Miz Scarlet testily responds, "Well, now it's excavation. Get ended it."

Get the "aging gracefully" picture? You no longer attention. You fitting let life come about. You righteous don't spring a cursed. And you also get dire tippy.
