The best part of growing older....
..... is that spats with your spouse lasts minutes instead of hours or days. What a wonderful feeling to argue and have it over in minutes.

Lots of good things, particularly seeing your kids grow into fine young adults.
Also being in a place financially where you work because you want to, and if customers don't treat you with respect you can afford to smile and walk away.

Recognizing that being happy is more important than being right. At least when dealing with my wife!

My wife's (lack of) memory is great now too. Just the other day:
Wife: Did you see the huge ring Tamara got for her 15th anniversary? What did you get me for our anniversary?
Me: Well I took you to Vegas for a week, just the two of us.
Wife: OH YA, that was great.
It was a while ago and it definitely was not for our anniversary but I did take her to Vegas at some point for some reason.

YES I totally agree with you, now days we hardly have upsets that are not resolved very quickly. By the way I've always admired your avatar. from the finest western movie of all times I've watched it at least a few times, and,,,,Hope is a powerful medicine...is an essence of life I believe, thank you.

I like the fact that I don't have to rely on roommates anymore. I hear horror story's from the younger guys at work. Give me married with kids any day.

growing older
Watching your kids become responsible adults with their own families.
And now, having been financially responsible myself, I can start enjoying all the benefits of my hard work. I am happy not being dependant on the government for my retirement.
On the flip-side, someone needs to start a thread for what sucks about getting older! Like the aches and pains we acquired along the way to get here

You must not be old enough yet. You will learn not to have a spat, as you always lose. LOL

I lost the last one, my wife wrapped her arms around me and told me I was sexy when I was angry, I burst out laughing...that is my line.

You are lucky for sure. Mine remembers stuff from 40 yrs back. Shoulda paid more attention to that old saying about paying attention to the future mother in law cause that is what you are gonna get in the long run.

Kids, campfires, successful fishing and hunting trips, peace and quite. Haha. The small things all seem to mean more the older a guy gets. Wish I woulda stopped and smelled the roses a bit more as a guy grew up.
