Emily: Some older people are kinda cranky. Dusty: Well...that's true, Emily. Emily: You're not cranky, Mister Dusty. Dusty: I find that people shouldn't let aging get them down...it's too hard to get back up. Emily: I'll remember that.
A guy I used to see at the local coffee shop complained that it was “hell getting old”. I said to him “Barney, it beats the alternative, doesn’t it?” That shut him up on that topic.
Actually that is excellent advice, and I’ll be remembering it too. I already deal with too many grumpy older men (I’m 68), and my goal is to instead be (or continue to be) a “happy grandpa”, like my own grandfather was!

We have a black glass tv stand (stupid buy) and every time I have to get on my knees to dust the bottom shelf I’ll remember Dusty’s words.
