Why do I resist
expressing that I'm getting older while knowing it's my biological truth?
Is it because this middle-aged man feels more comfortable accentuating his positive rather than his negative?
If that’s true then does it mean I consider getting older as something negative?

I beg to
differ as evidenced in an earlier blogflection titled “In pursuit of gracefully
aging” that you can read here.
It’s just
that “getting old” is not a term in my vocabulary describing what’s going on
with me. I’m just, rather, gracefully
aging as my biological clock marches forward.
It’s a spin I’ve created and I’ll use it to my liking while letting others use their “getting old” expression.

This is
consistent with what I see when looking at a glass filled with water to the
half-way point - I see a glass half full and not half empty.
It’s not
that I’m getting older but rather not getting any younger.

Aging is inevitable.Sometimes I wonder if it is really worthwhile to live to an old age if disease or infirmness happens. I have seen too many I know who become so dependent on other for even basic human functions .
Time will tell and answer your question but my advance answer on your behalf is yes you will want to because because now your view from the grandstand is different than your future view on the playing field when facing the grim reaper.
Thanks for your visit and comment.
Good answer.However I think taking the quality of your life in account is important. In other words do you want to live or to just exist?
Yes and (yes yes).
I may be having a senior moment but did you answer yes to just existing?
A review of your comments on prior blogs Mr. Pierini tells me you did answer yes to just existing. As you previous stated one would not know until he is facing the grim reaper. Right now I feel that would not be my choice.
Time will tell.
