Message “Aging Gracefully” Carmelita Abenoja
“Middle age begins at 50 and should end at 70.
The golden years begins at 70 and ends at 80.
Old age begins at 80 and ends at 90.
Longevity begins at 90 and ends after death.”
– Brazilian Oncologist
“When we age, we shed many skins;
ego, arrogance, dominance, pessimism, rudeness, selfishness and uncaring.”
~ Unknown
“Aging gracefully means being flexible, being open, allowing change, enjoying change
and loving yourself. The longer I live, the more beautiful life becomes.”
~ Frank Lloyd Wright
“In the end, it’s not the years on your life that count, it’s the life in your years.”
~ Abraham Lincoln
“As we age, we’re realizing the root of happiness is gratefulness.”
~ Pastor John, from Thanksgiving Letter
