Do not regret growing older. It is a privilege denied to many.

email from Kamalini Kanapathippillai:-

My neighbour was working in his garden when he was startled by a late model car that came crashing through his hedge and ended up in his front lawn. He rushed to help an elderly lady driver out of the car and sat her down on a lawn chair.

He said with excitement, "You appear quite elderly to be driving."

"Well, yes, I am," she replied proudly. "I'll be 97 next month, and I am now old enough that I don't even need a driver's licence anymore. The last time I went to my doctor, he examined me and asked if I had a driver's licence. I told him yes and handed it to him. He took scissors out of the drawer, cut the licence into pieces, and threw them in the waste basket, saying, 'You won't need this anymore,' so I thanked him and left!"
