Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we
like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less
than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that
you think in fractions.

"How old are you?" "I'm four and a half!" You're
never thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half,
going on five! That's the key.

You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back.
You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead.

"How old are you?" "I'm gonna be 16!" You could be
13, but hey, you're gonna be 16! And then the greatest
day of your life . . . you become 21. Even the words
sound like a ceremony . . YOU BECOME 21. YESSSS!!!

But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there?
Makes you sound like bad milk! He TURNED; we had to
throw him out. There's no fun now, you're Just a
sour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's changed?

You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40.
Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away.
Before you know it, you REACH 50 and your dreams are
gone.

But wait!!! You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you
would!

So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and MAKE
it to 60.

You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After
that it's a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday!

You get into your 80s and every day is a complete
cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30 ; you REACH
bedtime. And it doesn't end there. Into the
90s, you start going backwards; "I Was JUST 92."

Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over
100, you become a little kid again. "I'm 100 and a
half!" May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a
half!!


HOW TO STAY YOUNG
1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age,
weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them.
That is why you pay "them "

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you
down.

3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer,
crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain
idle. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop." And
the devil's name is Alzheimer's.

4. Enjoy the simple things.

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp
for breath.

6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on.
The only person, who is with us our entire life, is
ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's
family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies,
whatever. Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it.
If it is unstable,improve it. If it is beyond what
you can improve, get help.

9 Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall,
even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT
to where the guilt is.

10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at
every opportunity.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,
but by the moments that take our breath away.

   

I'm 8,073 days old today!

   

I am as old as dirt

   

I am older than dirt , 543 months old and going for a thousand .....in laymans terms 'petrified dirt '


As I look into the mirror I wonder why its there
a moment for my vanity maybe a misplaced hair
little do I see me aging, and getting used to this sherade
the world I'm getting used too makes the mirror fade

I hear a voice infront of me I hear a voice behind
and realize its not me but grasping for an image
I cannot be that old thinking maybe it'll just stop
I turn away to listen to an all familiar voice ......

daddy , I want to be just like you
with his smile and trusting eyes I begin to smile back
and realize .....I'm looking in the mirror

   

I'm 17,199 days old!! If I'd known I was going to live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself.
I want to die in my sleep just as my grandfather did. Not like the screaming passengers in his car.

   

It's kind of ironic when I think about how I will go and I keep getting this suspicion its going to be a bear mauling . They're just waiting until I get old enough . Hopefully I won't taste very good and they'll leave me alone .

   

Keep away from the zoo and you should be okay.

   

Its a good thing they are behind glass at the zoo
