Time to smell the roses?

When complaining about an arthritic knee, I was told, "Stop grizzling, only lucky people get old". All in all it's true. Forgetting the physical issues, I find that life is much more interesting and enjoyable as we age.
We see nine variations of green in a gum tree, listen to the words in songs and empathise with them, take joy on seeing young children on the way to a first day at school, know more and find relevance in so many more things as as result, enjoy and have more time for conversation with others, begin to take more pleasure in giving than accumulating, and value each sunset and sunrise. These and so many more things, which are now a daily part of our lives, are something so many of us were far too busy to take note of when younger.
