"SECS 8 Week 6: How do I want to grow old?"
Good day y'all, welcome to my blog @spanky-dollar, yet another beautiful weekly contest to write about growing old, organized by the STEEMIT HEALTH community.
As y'all know, age is an irreversible number, going forward without looking back.
HOW DO YOU WANT TO AGE, BE HEALTHY AND ENERGETIC, OR BE LIMITED AND DEPENDENT ON MEDICATION?
All of us have our beliefs about old age, in some cultures in Nigeria, if you are old in the family(especially extended family) when some evil things befall the family, the community begins to suspect you of witchcraft or being a wizard, some of this issues discourage some people about growing old but as of me.
I will like to grow energetic and healthy, so that I can have the strength to guide and warn my children about how the world is, because, what an old man sees sitting, even when a child stands, he won't see it coming.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO REACH THE OLD AGE YOU LONG FOR?
Well, it's lent period, and as the Catholic that I am, am on diet,(fasting and prayers) as the Bible teaches us, but aside from t and maintaining a balanced diet, exercising, and gyming on regular, praying and keeping my faith to make my wish come to pass, and making sure am fit always taken the hospital advice on my body.
ARE YOU AFRAID OF GROWING OLD? YES OR NO
(justify your answers).
"Omoh, I no go like wan old now oo, I wan chop life small again"
But since God giveth and taketh life, who I will be.
It also will look selfish if I don't want to give another human space in existence in life.
Life is like a market, when you bought your goods and leave, someone is on his way coming to bargain on his own choice, so it's necessary to keep the human chain revolving as it should be.
As I grow older, the more wiser and mature I will become, to make me look out for people coming under me.
DO YOU HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE TO SHARE WITH US ABOUT AN OLDER ADULT WHO IS AN EXAMPLE FOR YOU TO FOLLOW?
I only look up to God, and then my dad, these are the only people who are my mentor in life, my dad was indeed a great man, behind every successful man is a woman, and my mum has been up always for carter for the family, indeed my dad can sight a through wife material.
I wish I can have good eyes to look for a wife material, lol, and because of whom my dad left when he was no more, it's truly touching.
Thank y'all as you read, spread the love fams.
Am inviting this user to participate in the contest

Left for us to choose, we will not want to get old, but unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about it because it’s a part of our nature that we will get old. We just need to make sure we live an awesome old age instead of a difficult one. It’s very nice that your dad is your mentor. Your post is good. Keep it up.
I wish you best of luck.
