The older I get, the smarter my parents become.

Getting old is one hell of a thing to happen to a person. Aging is not for cowards! This is especially true in a youth worshiping and death denying culture.

As we age, we get stronger. Smell, however, isn't everything

The good old days weren't!

When the young deal with the old -- that takes courage. May the courage of the young be tempered by compassion and respect for the aging mind. It is when the old deal with the young that things can really get out of hand!

Consider the price. You can have anything you desire, plan for, and work to achieve. You cannot have everything. The price of following your dream is paid for in your time and energy. Since both are limited and irreplaceable, it is necessary to invest them in things that are truly valuable.
