“Oh dear,” she giggled, “you sure do not look like a senior citizen to
me.” 

Now, I do not know if she really meant that or not but allow me to
repeat myself, $.59 is $.59! 

I have never thought of myself as old, just older. And, as a friend of
mine used to say, “I plan to get as old as I possibly can get.” 

Getting old has many benefits and $.59 is only the beginning. 

My great objective from this time on is to cash in on as much Senior
Citizen benefits as I can get. After all, $.59 is $.59! And, if I get a 
cup of coffee every day, I will save $215.35 in the year, every year. 
Who would have thought that getting old would pay such rich dividends? 

There is a strange anomaly that most people do not want to get old but
then they do not want to die either. The only remedy for not getting 
old is... 

It is not getting old that is the problem, it is not discovering the
real foundation of life which is none other than Jesus Christ. 

“The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is
the gray head” (Proverbs 20:29). 

Getting old is not for sissies. It takes a real man to get old.
