Who says getting old is frustrating? Trinity Care Adult Day Care Center in Morrow Georgia says otherwise. In fact, we think that growing old is one of the best experience anyone could ever have. Why do we say so? It is because there are many things you can do and/or leave an impression about when you grow older.
Robert Quillen, an American journalist and humorist, once said “You don’t get smarter as you get older. There is just less stupid stuff left that you haven’t done already.” So let us hear from the hearts of other seniors themselves on what it is like to be a part of the older population.
Seniors are not just that old and fragile being we can all find sitting lonely by the window. In fact there are a lot of things that amuse the elderly and as a provider of quality services to seniors in the community, Trinity Care Adult Day Care Center in Morrow Georgia believes that seniors are not that lonely as we thought they are.
Growing old is amusing. With each passing of the day, you get to learn or realize things you were not able to realize when you are still younger. Some of these realizations come in a quite unexpected manner.
“You know you’re getting old when you have to wear your glasses in the shower to shave your legs.”

“You know you’re getting old when you can’t walk pass the bathroom without thinking “I may as well pee while I’m here.””

“With age comes skills. It’s called Multitasking. I can laugh, cough, sneeze, and pee all at the same time.”

Then, there are times when these realizations just hit you out of the blue.
“You know you’re getting older when you use the word “thing” all the time because you can no longer remember what things are called.”

And also, there is a thing about the toys we once played back then. Apparently, they became famous again.
“You know you’re older when you childhood toys are not collectables and antiques.”

Because of over thinking, seniors also admit that they miss those good old times.
“When I was younger, I could really kick some butts. Now, I just go for the ankles.”

“My mind says I’m in my twenties. My body says “Yeah, you wish!””

And of course, there has to be some point of their lives where they refused reality so these thoughts linger around their mind:
“Don’t get all weird about getting older! Our age is merely the number of years the world has been enjoying us!”

“Don’t stress about your eyesight failing you as you get older. It’s nature’s way of protecting you from shock as you walk pass the mirror.”
