Do you worry being old ?

He told the jeweler he was looking for a special ring for his girlfriend. The jeweler looked through his stock and brought out a $5,000 ring.

The man said, 'No, I'd like to see something more special.' At that statement, the jeweler went to his special stock and brought another ring over 'Here's a stunning ring at only $40,000' the jeweler said.The lady's eyes sparkled and her whole body trembled with excitement. The old man seeing this said, 'We'll take it. ''The jeweler asked how payment would be made and the man stated, "By check. I know you need to make sure my check is good, so I'll write it now and you can call the bank Monday to verify the funds and I'll pick up the ring Monday afternoon. 'On Monday morning, the jeweler angrily phoned the old man and said 'There was only $25 in your account. ''I know, said the old man, 'But let me tell you about MY GREAT WEEKEND!'

Do you worry about what will happen to you as you get older and will anybody be around to help you or take care of you ? many gay men live alone and do not have family. many are afraid of what will happen if theu have an accident, or are hospitalized and no one knows.

Dear John: -I have already gotten older - I am 77 years old. I no longer drive because of visual deficits due to a stroke. My family will come to me and take me where I need to go. I communicate by text or phone with my family members daily. I hear from my son and daughter every day, even if it js just a “How are you doing today?” I don’t see myself ever falling into the isolation trap that you describe because if people don’t get in touch with me, I get in touch with them.

John. I never thought I would get old. I thought I would be young and desirable for ever. Never even entered my head. Then 40 hit me like a sledge hammer and when at parties, I was not noticed any more and that hit me hard. I was once always centre of attention and it seemed suddenly, I wasn't any more.

60 was worse still, realizing that the best years are behind and there are limited years ahead, again, sledge hammer.

At 84 the slow decline in my desires, my health and even caring about so much I worried about when younger, places me in a position of actual pleasure, as I can now relax and chill and not be so worried about what others thought as now I don't give a damn. I was always so stressed and concerned about what others thought of me, and besides the fact I have out lived most of them, I am now aware that old age has its rewards.

Walter.
