When I was in my younger days, I weighed a few pounds less.
I needn't hold my tummy in to wear a belted dress.
But now that I am older, I've set my body free.
There's comfort of elastic where once my waist would be.
Inventor of those high-heeled shoes, my feet have not forgiven.
I have to wear a nine now, but used to wear a seven.
And how about those pantyhose. They're sized by weight, you see.
So how come when I put them on, the crotch is at my knees?
I need to wear these glasses as the prints were getting smaller.
And it wasn't very long ago I know that I was taller.
Though my hair has turned to gray and my skin no longer fits,
On the inside, I'm the same old me, just the outside's changed a bit.
--Mark Twain
The way to Age Young is to stay in the game. There is no failure except in no longer trying.
The only disability in life is a bad attitude.
Disregard all nonessential numbers. These include weight, height and age.
Don't take guilt trips. Go to the mall, the next county, a foreign country, but forget the guilt trip!
