What is life to offer me when i grow old???

Things ring me a bell. Where you listening to a song when you post this? It seems familiar to me. Your right we don't worry when we were young but then as time goes we learn from life and then we ultimately find our goal in life which defines what we want to do with our life.

Hoping that I can live even 80 years old. I wish I could serve more to my daughters and to my grand kids. I will be the model of them and wishing that even I am old I could not a burden to them but a grandmother that could enjoy to be with. If only we can choose to have a good and healthy lifestyle until we are older I choose to be strong and healthy one. But in these days many pains and diseases that come up sometimes hard to explain. Also aiming that there would be no more great calamities that would come if God allows.

The line taken from After Image's Next In Line, a song I ponder until these times... I was a child. And my activities were just the following: wake up, eat, play and sleep. I worry about nothing. Then I came to school. I met new friends of my age and the scare of homeworks and exams came to me. I went to high school... aah... the beauty of high school. I started to discover myself, learn new things alone and go with my friends, and started to distance from my parents. College life came. They say its the preparation for the next chapter of life. I had to make decisions... small and tough ones. At this stage, I must have already known how to deal with people, their characters and I must already know how to adjust to my environment. To add, self-search must have ended here already. Courtship, relationships and marriage came. The chapter of my life where I serve as the plane's pilot. I have my own family. I have my own children. How much did I learn when I was young? Did the things I learn valuable enough to pass on to my own family? Are my resources enough to satisfy their needs? Am I spiritually stable to ensure them that faith in God is the topmost priority in life? And now I am old... as I sit by our window and watch the kids playing... with smile on their faces... I had no regrets. Time passed by me. I pondered the song once again... "What has life to offer me when I grow old..." just wanna tell the young ones: "for in this cycle that we call life, we are the ones who are next in line."

Hi sincerelyne, I am seventy years old and my advice is to enjoy life while you are young but also take good care of your health. In that way you will have a better chance not only for a longer life, but a happier and healthier one as well. Find something that you can be enthused about outside of your regular work so that when you retire, you will not give up on life as some people do. I am in good health and don't think of myself as old. I help look after my 84 year old brother who has Alzheimer's disease and I regularly visit with a friend why has cancer. My hobby is writing and it's something that I've always enjoyed and that is what keeps me busy and occupied. I may never make a lot of money at it but the enjoyment I get from creating something is worth more than anything. One other thing, decide to be happy, no matter what life brings. Blessings.

I am 60 years old, so I would encourage you to take care of your health when you are young, that way you will have less health problems. Learn as much as possible as to how to take care of yourself. Then find something you can be passionate about. That way whether with someone or alone you will always have something to look forward to each day. Life will always be exciting. I have found that in my darkest moments there was only myself and God. At times, there is no one else that can do anything for us.

Of course there are no guarantees in life and so many individuals consider growing old. I believe we try to live our lives so that we have few regrets and rewarding memories since those are the only things that matter when one is at the end of life's journey. If we feel we have lived long happily filled live's we grow older with a pronounced sense of dignity. On the other hand, if we feel we have wasted our lives, we grow older with a growing sense of despair.
