As you age, it’s important to keep a sense of humor – so here are some inspiring quotes about getting older to make you laugh.
Growing older is not for the faint of heart. It’s for the strong of spirit (and the elastic of waistband.)

And while we’re all headed to the same inevitable conclusion, we might as well enjoy the journey and laugh a little.

The older I get the more I realize, we gotta wear our aging like a badge of honor. After all, we’ve earned every year, every laugh, every oddly aching joint that now predicts the weather. And if anyone tells you that you’re too old for something, remind them that you’re not too old. You’re just too wise to bother with it.
You can age quickly…or age slowly. It’s your decision! But if you want to age at your best, you will love my longevity book Life Is Long: 50+ Ways To Live A Little Closer To Forever.
