EVERY DAY ABOVE GROUND IS...
A GOOD DAY!
THIS IS MY FAVORITE QUOTE OF RECENT DAYS.
HERE WATCHING THE CLOCK MOVE SLOWLY TOWARDS
MIDNIGHT...
ONCE IT HITS THAT 12 I WILL BE REACHING 56 YEARS OF AGE!
WHAT A WONDERFUL BLESSING!
WHAT A WONDERFUL JOY!
(Now my husband, being the sweet fellow that he is, reminds me that actually I will only be 56 tomorrow, because after that I am working on 57! Thanks! Bill)
Not writing this for happy wishes,
though they are wonderful!
I am writing this to say...
though they are wonderful!
I am writing this to say...
NEVER LET YOUR AGE HOLD YOU BACK! NEVER LET AGE KEEP YOU FROM DOING ANYTHING THAT YOU DESIRE!
NEVER!!!!!!!!!!
My what ifs...
What if I had said at 28 it's too late for me to marry?
Course some would say too young on that one.
I wouldn't be celebrating 28 years married to the best guy around.
Or,
oh I am just too old to have a child now...I'm 32!!!
oh I am just too old to have a child now...I'm 32!!!
I wouldn't be a proud mama to a fine young man, who amazes me daily!
Become a teacher at my age, really!!??
I'm too old, I'm 45 after all!
I would not have received hugs, and I love yous, tonight from some of the sweetest little students around.
We were trying to be seated at a restaurant, but you can't say no to all that sweetness!

Get my masters degree? Ha!
Not at 53!
No way!
Yes way!
No way!
If I had not, I wouldn't have all my new younger friends that I met in class...so blessed am I!
I wouldn't be getting a pay raise during these hard times, and I would not have found new avenues of expression...I can dance! (Well, sort of.)
I can write poetry, move, sing, act and tell stories, though not at the same time...yet!

If you are living you are still going to be whatever age,
you may as well do whatever your heart needs you to do.

After all Socrates learned to dance at 70...so I've heard...I wasn't there.
The great thing about getting older, is you don't lose all the ages you've been. Maya Angelou
