Crazyheart. Children do bring to us a sense of reality. When i look in to the eyes of my granddaughters, i feel blessed that i have lived long enough to enjoy their laughter. Bring on old age.
ordenado I'd like to say if we cant spell a word 2 ways, we are not creative. I'd also like to blame "old age" or maybe a lack of education" but alas, if the truth be known, it really was the "auto correct" spelling that happens on my Samsung. have to admit, i have enjoyed a piece of pizza once or twice in my lifetime.
VivianLee WOW, what wise and wonderful words. Thank you. Yes mid 50's is an age where it can appear neither old nor young, I have come to embrace my age and have realized that i may no longer be able to play physical games with my granddaughters as much as i'd like too, and yes i intend to enjoy each day as it comes and help any ordinary miracle become a special one. Nice to see you again.
ordenado Hello there, and thank you very much for your nice words. Yes you are right, i am still considered a young'un by some, And yes life may only get more demanding, but i say we should approach it with guttso and a i dont care what happens attitude. Enjoy what we have and what we will have. Thank you for commenting.
India, Another of my favourites, Ageing gracefully is not an easy thing to do, but i agree that we should at least try, so much fun to be had when we do not worry about our age, after all dont some say age is just a number.
Luke, Ageing is not for sissies, mmmmm wonder what the ladies may think about that. But i do understand what you mean. Maybe ageing is not for the weak of mind.
Titania48 I dont think i ever had model looks, well maybe as a baby. I think wrinkles come with the knowledge we have gain living as long as we have. May everyone celebrate wrinkles.
Beautifulyou Thank you for your very kind comments, It has been a while since i last posted a blog, a long while actually, some may say too long, others may say not long enough.
Each day we wake up another miracle will happen, bring on ageing i say.
Z my friend, how right you are. When i wake up from my slumber i immediately think what a wonderful day. I then start thinking about what time my afternoon nap will be.
Esk they do say hindsight is a great thing. If only we knew then what we know now. glad to see it was not to late for you to enjoy what life gives you.
KN yep life is to be celebrated. We're a long time gone. Whilst your having problems with things going downhill i myself is having problems getting certain things to go uphill.
LJ thank you so much for your kind words. Yes it has been a while since i last posted a blog. I have however enjoyed reading yours. Thank you for your touching and intelligent comments that you have bought to my blog. As always i have tried to inject a little humor into a topic. May we all age with grace and love in our hearts. Remembering to enjoy each moment as it passes.
Cocheta i can assure you that i consider the friendship we have forged as a pleasant miracle. It is great to know that you are well and enjoying life. If there is one person on this earth that deserves emense happiness it is you. I promise not to be a stranger.
Usha123 one of my favorite people on here. Thank you for your kind words. I am sure that there are NO grey hairs mixed in with your beautiful shinning locks. Sooner or later we must all face reality. My reality is I'm not as young as i once was, and hopefully I'm not quite as old as i am going to be. I'm just going to enjoy the time i have and not let unimportant things bother me. I trust that you and your girls are in good health.
Hey LouLou, Sitting at work staring at the screen and thought i'd be a little sentimental (if that is the right word). Tried to keep my sense of humour in a topic that shouldn't be taken to seriously. Although as you say, death does make one appreciate life. Maybe the old saying, "wake up and smell the roses" should be practised more by us all. Enjoy life and why bother with the hassle life throws at us, apparently, "there is always someone worse off".
Cat, Firstly, Many happy returns to both you and Nam, Next, WTF is going on here, Two blogs from 2 different people saying that some here have used the occasion to try and upset you both. Both you and NAM know better than to let those sort of people dictate how you feel. It would appear that whoever you both are talking about has a chip on their shoulder. Your advice to others would be to ignore the comments, maybe Cat you should accept your own words and just concentrate of enjoying yourself.
Blogs maybe entertainment, that doesnt mean they are good entertainment. I sometimes "stickybeak" through the window to see what's going on. Only comment when i have something to say that may add to the blog, however, on this occassion, i see you are a lonely male amongst women, so i thought i would join in.
Lou my dear, It's hard to be "Humble" when your "perfect" in every way. Actually i am about as far away from being perfect as a cow actually jumping over the moon. Things are ok here, Hows your good self?
