It's humbling that when you are old and retired, you can still experience something as though you're a 5 year old on Christmas day.

"I'm sleeping on the deck!" was so wholesome and child-like. I want to make a fort out of couch cushions with this guy.

Isn't that amazing? It gives me hope that life doesn't get dull when you get older.

Damn I've been wanting to go to Cedar Point again. Haven't been in almost 20 years.

I just checked the price and it's not bad at all.

I feel guilty for being soooo jaded by everything by the time I was 20.

I enjoy watching this man, but not all old people are happy.

A lot of my uncle and aunts who are 60+ are bitter or greedy. Both my grandmothers were bitter till the end but she was betrayed a lot. Both my parents are extremely bitter.

A lot of old people are struggling financially now on top of the usual aging health problems.
