A little smile for you all...

Post by BabyRider »

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 turn30. 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?

YouBECOME 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!!

ALOHA!!

MOTTO TO LIVE BY:

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, champagne in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming.

WOO HOO!!, what a ride!!!"

BR, You are well ahead of your years in wisdom! Stay young forever, like Jack Benny (Ya I know who?) he stayed "39" forever! Never think "Old" and you won't be. My Mother-in-Law is 87-3/4, she always talks about the "Old" people she has to deal with in her retirement home! (They are in their 90's)

baby, great post, one of my favorite authors wrote that there are two things you don't want to outlive, your ability to enjoy a good cigar or a bad women. Forgive the sexism but he wrote many many years ago. Times were different but the meaning is still relivent.
