These 14 Photos Just Go To Show Age Is Just A Number
If you look in the Bible, getting older is shown as a blessing. In fact, gray hair is considered a crown of glory (Proverbs 16:31). But somewhere along the lines, our society has started to view aging as a bad thing. Getting older means you can't have any fun, right? Wrong! And here are 14 photos that prove it!   Getting older doesn’t mean you can’t still jet ski like a champ… Credit: Sheldon's Fans Or race like a champ… Credit: Sheldon's Fans Or roller blade like a champ, for that matter!

Graham, here, is 82 years old and still participates in swim races. In his downtime, he’ll go for a leisurely open water swim across the Straits of Gibraltar or from the Hawaiian island of Lanai to Maui. Credit: NPR/Benjamin Morris Got spirit? Love sequins? Then you could make a great senior cheerleader. All of the members of the Arizona-based Sun City Poms are over 55 (though most of the members are much more mature than that) and they can high kick and hit the splits with the best of them!

Getting older doesn’t mean you can’t dance the night away… Credit: Sheldon's Fans Or even game the night away, if that’s your thing.

The key to aging gracefully is to keep having fun… Credit: Sheldon's Fans To keep smiling... Credit: Sheldon's Fans And to keep on laughing! Credit: Sheldon's Fans
"The glory of young men is their strength, but the splendor of old men is their gray hair." Proverbs 20:29
