This hub has a lot of great advice for a very important woman in my life. She tends to let aging scare her and worry that she's "too old" to do certain things. I never thing you're too old for anything though!
Great motivational piece of those who fear the aging process, like myself, entering the mid thirties, I am beginning to see it.
Hello, Fellow Mumbaite,
Thank you very much writing and publishing this useful, awesome and interesting hub. Because I am 65 years old, this aricle is of special interest to me. And you are so right when you say that much of what it takes to "age gracefully" is rooted in the way we think.
Yes, I agree with the hub. We don't need to be scared of aging. We can do creative activities to make it more enjoyable and lovable.
I think the best advice in your hub is "face it gracefully." Aging isn't always easy and even when tryin gto stay healthy it doesn't always work. Facing whatever comes your way gracefully is the best way to deal with it. Voted up.
