Oh Well! We can't always stay young. However, it is good to stay young at heart. Old Age has it's compensations. Not to worry about tomorrow; It will take care of itself.
Why Do I Hate Getting Old? The gold of my hair has turned to sliver It shines and glitters in the sunshine My mind is sharp as a tack My heart is full of love I sleep like a baby Nothing bothers me Yet I hate getting old Is it because I must leave this world with all it's trouble and baggage? No, I think not; so Why, Oh Why, do I hate getting old? To a far better place do I go, in the arms of my beloved There I shall be forever young; filled with joy, love and happiness ��

Oh my dear, I see no hate here. I see the wisdom of displaced youth. I don't see "old" either. You must be awesome! What a good heart.

Possibly it's just that in the Autumn of life things start falling apart and you don't recover as easily as when you were young.
