Earthy comments, perhaps, but not grounds. I'm certain you;ll remember this unless some trauma happened which would spark gaps in your memory. Of course there's always the flux of time to take into consideration, but having met you I know that you combat time with some resistance. I usually read poetry when I'm feeling old. You might try odes to see if they work for you. Which reminds me of one of my better efforts some years ago. A friend of mine bought an ancient funerary urn while in Athens, and I was able to get his wife to give me the charge slip for it. I framed it for him for his birthday, and he still proudly displays the frame with the title: Owed on a Grecian Urn. True story.
