Thank you Ditter, great words of wisdom. I hear of people making a "Bucket List", I've made mine, very short list,
Get up every morning, thank God I'm still alive and well and do something positive and constructive each day. That's it!

Ditter, wonderful! I know I've become my mother! And my daughter is starting to become me. My granddaughter (age 14) just shudders!! LOL! Sure wish I could turn the clock back a few years. But I wish it only sometimes.

Me too Geri B! So weird that my youngest son and his fiancee visited just this past weekend, and I was thinking about just these things Ditter. I even said to them and my mother, we are all moving into the next category! Who'da thunk it?!

People are living longer than our parents and grandparents did. Many are 100 years old or older! I was feeling at age at turning 72 in my hometown grocery store and the lady behind me in line was 98 years old!
You are as old as you feel. If you can still get out of bed every morning by yourself, you are blessed. In life, there are seasons of 'life', and the golden years ought to be renamed to "rust' years according to my dh.LoL! There are assisted living places before you have to enter the nursing homes. Yes, times have changed since we were young. My grandmother was born before 1900, and lived to see a man on the moon.
Don't live with regrets; you cannot go back in years and correct any thing. Rejoice every day, remember the best memories your mind can remember. If you cannot remember, make new friends every day, cause you don't remember them from before! Take each day, with a smile, laughter and love...that's what life teaches you.
Thanks for sharing. Love it.

Thank you Ditter, this is so true. I was great until a year ago October when I spend 8 days in Oak Hill in Brooksville and it hit me at 66 I was getting old and body was NOT keeping up. Hope your enjoying our wonderful weather.

I think I reached the back nine before you, Ditter. However, Life is Good, and I would not trade places with anyone I know. Sure love my sweet hubby that I have had for 63 years (April 13). This is a good story of our life and may you enjoy yours as much as I do mine.
