The things that bother’s me the most about getting old is becoming sedentary and not knowing if I would need hormone replacement therapy. I know that some hormones are associated with risks but, many are safe for long term usage and have benefits. The risk of HRT is bothersome to me because, I am a survivor of cancer and I don’t want to take any chances of getting another type of cancer. Also, getting old bothers me because, it means loosing some of my physical beauty. However, aging can make me feel good because, I won’t have to worry about pre-menstrual cramps or a menstrual cycle. I won't have to worry about “is it time to change my tampon.” I think aging is equated with trusts and understanding. I think that with aging, I would not have to worry about continuing my education; I can relax and enjoy life. Good qualities associated with aging are: people are retired from their careers, take more vacations during the year, and spend more quality time with their children/grandchildren. I think that growing old would allow me to feel young again by doing things with my children and grandchildren.

Cassandra,
I guess it is the ‘nature of the beast’ in us to fear that which is inevitable! In the words of my grandmother, "just keep gettin' up and saying good morning" - in other words, you WILL definitely age and YES as you stated, benefits are reaped during our latter life. However, I pray that we are all enjoying life and living it to the fullest on a daily basis by taking time to slow down and bask in the sunshine and allow the wind to blow through your hair and not care. I thank God that I can see and hear the birds chirping without the aid of prescription glasses and hearing aids…keep living, keep living, keep living!
