Keep your skills sharp and your interests varied. We are valuable members of society. I read this on faebook. It made me smile. I hope it makes you smile too. If you were raised on bologna, drank coke, played in the dirt, got your butt spanked, had 3 TV channels and an outside antenna, school started with "The Pledge", had a bedtime, rode in back of pickup trucks, recorded songs from the radio using cassette tapes, drank from a hose, played in a creek, rode bikes all day without a helmet, said sir and ma'am........ And you still turnd out OK, then please repost. |

I might rephrase your "Young as you feel" to "Young as you think." I have been a member of a philanthropic group for many years. Everyone else is 15 to 20 years younger...yet I have not found it a problem to fit in. |

From maggie mac to young as you feel. I heartily agree now. I'm younger than I was a year ago by quite a bit. I'm moving more and walking more. I'm losing weight and able to do more and go out more. I was sick for 2 1/2 years, and in bed mostly. Needless to say, I became very unfit. Now, gradually, I'm reversing that and getting younger and able to do more. I'm much happier and involved and interested in so many things. I'm very grateful. |
