Getting Old

One of the main things that bothers me most about getting old is the fact that the rate of metabolism gets slower; because, the slower the rate of metabolism, the harder it is to shed unwanted pounds. Another concern that I have about gettiing old is the possibility of getting Alzheimer's disease. I am terrified of the thought of memory loss associated with it.
One of the most satisfying thoughts of aging is the on-set of menopause, and the reality of the dismissal of the dreaded monthly period. Having already gone through menopause is wonderful.
Another great aspect of getting old is being more experienced and wiser regarding decision-making ordeals. The best advantage of all, is being able to retire from work; after, many long, hard years on the job.
