Limits and Aging
Every phase of life has new limits to embrace. . . Whereas children age out of their limits; old people age into them. (Tim Sprankle, blogger)
The older you grow, the more you recognize your limitations. Memory begins to fade; energy is disappearing; hearing is more difficult, and much more.

Don’t long for “the good old days.” This is not wise. . . When people live to be very old, let them rejoice in every day of life. (Ecclesiastes 7:10; 11:8)
