Aging Is Meliorate Than the Culling
A guy once walked straight into a telephone pole looking at me. But I can promise you that doesn't happen anymore. I'm staring downwards eye age similar a deer defenseless in an 18-wheeler's high beams. And that's okay.
Being immature—fresh-faced, limber, full of free energy and hope—was marvelous. Withal, my 40s are even improve. There'southward a sense of confidence and purpose that didn't be earlier.
Information technology turns out that the wisdom of experience is a decent trade-off for everything that isn't quite what it used to be. (Well, at least so far it is.) Besides, crumbling is certain better than its alternative, right (death)?

(And if yous don't remember who Whitesnake was, you slept through the 1980'southward.)
But poor Debbie is similar doomed to an average life in suburbia, married at age 24 to a CPA, her dreams upward in flames. Now, she's wearing mom jeans and raising ii bratty teenagers who tell her how large time uncool she is. (Like even! If they only knew her back in the day!)

Questions & Answers
Question: Why do one-time people smell funny?
Answer: "Eau de old person" is indeed a real thing, co-ordinate to scientific inquiry studies, and although it is unique, it is non necessarily offensive. It is thought that the social stigma of aging is associated with its labeling as unpleasant. (Note that if the person in question does not adequately take care of his/her oral hygiene, suffers frequent "accidents," or simply doesn't breast-stroke daily, then we're no longer talking most simple "erstwhile person odor.")
The unique smell of one-time people has been variously described equally an "unpleasant grassy and greasy odor," the scent of an old book, or the scent of cucumbers and stale beer. In Japanese culture, which places a premium on hygiene, there is even a name for the musky onetime person smell: kareishū.
Scientists suggest that the often instantly recognizable erstwhile person scent is the manifestation of humans' ability to screen for appropriate mates by detecting age, disease, and genetic suitability. One-time person smell thus may signify jail cell decline.

That there'll come a fourth dimension when I'll plow abroad at the sight
Just I swear that's non right.

And a yard strands of grey won't disguise
The woman she'll always be in my optics. ...

With all that I tin can to deaden this awareness

Fixed in that fine silvery frame
Were you actually and so unhappy at that place
You lot never said
Then this house is empty now
In that location'due south nothing I can do to brand you want to stay
So tell me how am I supposed to live without you
Oh, if I could just become forgetful
When night seems endless
Does the extinguished candle intendance
About the darkness
Information technology's funny how the memory
Volition bring you then close then make you disappear
Meanwhile all our friends must choose
Who they volition favor, who they volition lose
Hang the garland high, or close the door
Or throw away the primal
This business firm is empty now
There's no one living here

This house is empty now
At that place's nothing I tin can exercise
To make you desire to stay
And so tell me how am I supposed to alive without you
This house is empty now
This business firm is empty at present
At that place'south nix I can do

All by myself I get lonely

All by myself.

By most people'southward standards, I am elderly. But I seldom experience that way, and the past decade has been one of the best of my life.

To do this, I try to avoid negative thinking and concentrate on the good.

When I recall of aging songs, I always think of Frank Sinatra. His entire "September of My Years" album from the 60s is an crumbling song treasure trove, but my fave is "It Was a Very Expert Year."
(Side annotation: I had that Sinatra album on vinyl. Talk about aging! Perchance I should buy it on iTunes for Christmas.)
Goofy as it sounds, I like Adam Sandler's "Grow Onetime With You." Loved The Nuptials Singer.
Cheers for all the wonderful playlists and support this year! Merry Christmas!

What a wonderful selection of songs almost aging and growing older. I honey the songs sung by John Legend and Kenny Rogers.
Bill De Giulio from Massachusetts on December 23, 2016:
Hi Flourish. What an admittedly bang-up hub this is. Some classic songs here; 100 Years, Celebrity Days, Turn-Turn-Plow, Forever Young. These are some of my all-fourth dimension favorite tunes. And to the bulletin, I am a house believer that we are every bit young as nosotros feel. I thought turning 50 would exist traumatic, but you lot know what, it'south just a number and I feel ameliorate and we travel more than now than we always accept. Embrace the years, it's all almost what we practice with what time we accept here.
FlourishAnyway (author) from USA on December 23, 2016:
Linda - I'1000 sure you're getting better with age, like fine wine. I loved that there was a Droop, Westward Virginia. I did restrain myself; I didn't add Soggy Lesser Lake. (I initially thought information technology was Saggy Bottom but Soggy Bottom adds a new layer of context.) You lot have a wonderful vacation weekend. I bet your house is just overflowing with baked appurtenances and great stuff to consume.
FlourishAnyway (author) from United states of america on December 23, 2016:

Shyron Due east Shenko from Texas on December 22, 2016:
This is great, I couldn't think of any song you missed at first and then I idea of "Those Were the Days" and "She appeared to be eighteen or 19 years erstwhile." the songs yous have listed are fantastic.
Blessings my cute friend.
Shyron E Shenko from Texas on December 22, 2016:
I love this beautiful hub, I thought I couldn't call back a song then I idea of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3KEhWTnWvE "Those were the Days" past Mary Hopkin 1968.
Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where nosotros used to raise a drinking glass or two
Retrieve how nosotros laughed away the hours
And dreamed of all the great things we would practise
Those were the days my friend
We idea they'd never terminate
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd alive the life we choose
Nosotros'd fight and never lose
For nosotros were young and sure to have our style.
La la la la...
Then the busy years went rushing by us
We lost our starry notions on the style
If past chance I'd run into you in the tavern
We'd smiling at one another and nosotros'd say
Blessings and hugs my beautiful friend.
Shyron Eastward Shenko from Texas on Dec 22, 2016:
I dear these songs, tin't recollect of one that yous missed, I then much enjoy these collection of songs.
Blessings and hugs.
Linda Lum from Washington State, Usa on December 22, 2016:
Flourish, I audibly groaned when I saw the title of this post. You lot talk virtually beingness in the headlights of center-age? In your 40's you lot are a whipper snapper to me (hey, I say that lovingly). If I'm center aged, then I estimate 140 is sometime.
Glad to run across you lot included the Beatles song in your list. That is the first melody that popped into my caput. The remainder of these are mostly sweet, and then in that location'due south #19 which just makes me laugh (again).
But it doesn't stop there; it gets even meliorate. Shame on you for adding Droop, WVa to the list! You lot're just brutal!
Love you. Thanks for a fun/funny post. I look forward to many more with you in the next year. Have a wonderful Christmas!
