Age-ing.

Age-ing.

Wife is young man’s mistress,
Companion in middle age, and,
Nurse when you are old.

The transition between young and the old begins in the blink of an eye.
It can begin the moment you wake up from sleep one sad morning, you
glance in the mirror and find an unfamiliar face.

The transition can begin the moment you pass through a catastrophe like you pass through the stage of loss of your father, mother or loss of business or like that. The realisation that the youth time is over marks the mid point of life and launches you towards the stock-phrase, “a certain age.”

You are not happy with the physical changes you find happening to yourself. It is more to
something like greying hair, crinkles, bags of puffiness under the eyes, and gaining weight. This makes you wonder, “My God ! When did this happen?

Aging reduces your sex-appeal with an advanced tummy, you need to wear suit of 42” size. Your eyes need reading glass to read and you feel your stamina cut to half.

Physical awareness is the key to postpone for a while the aging signs.
Regular exercise can firm the sagging thigh muscles. Eye-lifts can eliminate
bags, moisturisers can fill in the crow’s feet. Life is what we look at 45 and it is
very uninspiring and it brings about a set-back in life if not properly tackled.

Some men age well. They look attractive as they age. Their lines add character.
Their grey hair is a sign of their wisdom. Some men are at their most attractive stage
between 40 and 50.

If you enter mid-life with some mastery, skill and stability and security of yourself
and your family, it would provide you the basis to build a new progressive life. It depends upon you how you take a healthy attitude towards life. Positive mental attitude
depends upon having developed a good sense about one’s own self to know who you are and what you are and how you value yourself. Surround yourself with loving positive,
active people.

The idea is to enjoy life in good and bad circumstances. Life is a mixture of good and bad
times which you have to tackle with a calm and cool mind. A life-time of happiness,
no man alive could bear. It would be hell on earth. Good nature and good sense
must ever join, to err is human, to forgive is divine. If all the year were golf-playing days, to sport would be as tedious as work.

Can you wear your wedding day suit?
Is it meant to hang in the closet as a thing of past ? That’s all?

Please give a try to be young and alive as you were and advanced age may not
hinder your chances of progress.
