Never take anyone for granted, Hold every person close to your heart. Because you may wake up someday, and realize you`ve lost a diamond, While you were gathering stones...

A MOTTO TO LIVE BY.

i THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE VERY IN KEEPING WITH MY LAST JOURNAL ABOUT TRYING TO AGE GRACEFULLY,

BUT FEELING VERY UN-ATTRACTIVE AND TROLL-LIKE

 WHEN IN THE PRESENCE OF THE "BARBIE AND KENS" OF THE WORLD!

SO HERE GOES, HOPE IT MAKES YOU SMILE.

LIFE SHOULD NOT BE A JOURNEY TO THE GRAVE WITH THE INTENTIONS

OF ARRIVING SAFTLY,IN AN  ATTRACTIVE , SHAPELY AND WELL PRESENTED BODY,

BUT RATHER TO SKID IN SIDEWAYS, CHOCOLATE IN ONE HAND, LATTE IN THE OTHER,

BODY THROUGHLY WORN OUT AND SCREAMING, "YAH-HOO", WHAT A RIDE !!!!!!!.

REMEMBER, EVERY DAY IS A GIFT.

I'm in your corner on that one, too. My husband had leukemia for 16 years before he died. My life was a moody roller coaster until the hills and valleys finally smoothed out a little, but he had a very even-keeled, steady personality. The oly "bad" birthday he had was our daughter's 25th. He must have said 50 times, "Just think, she's a quarter of a century old!" One day I said, "You never had a birthday that sort of made you re-think your life, did you?" He just looked at me and said, "I think I'm lucky to be having birthdays at all!" So I celebrate mine. I'm 67 and figured I've earned every wrinkle and every pound.
