just-sew-together

Ditter............Truer words have never been spoken!!!!! For a moment.....I almost thought I had written "Your Words" I never thought I would ever reach this point in my life...BUT fact is....... I love this stage of my life...more so than any other time. As you said "It's FREEING"!!!!!!!

I have a whole lot less money these days, a bed ridden hubby, live a life of solitude......BUT I'm at peace for the first time in my life. And to add to the beauty of this stage in life......I found this GROUP of wonderful people of all ages.... who are sewww willing to give and share.

THANK YOU ALL.........for making this a WONDERFUL place to visit throughout the crazinees of daily life.

ANGEL BLESSINGS...... Anna Adelia

I agree with you I don't make my bed unless someone is comming over and will see it. Eat what I want take a nap when I chose to but would give it all up to have my DH back. Getting old has its good points and some bad points the only thing that stops me from staying in my pj all day when my fybromyalgis flares up or sjogrens desides to make my joints hirt like carzy is my dog have to take her out

Very well said. I just turned 76 can't believe it. But I am happy I can wear a hat and not worry about my hair. I would rather be warm that look good. I can also wear comfortable shoes and no one cares.
I also believe you get kinder and more patient as you age, and treasure the love and companionship of friends and family'
Another way to look at getting older is. I "It is better than the alternative"
Oh And keep your sense of humor!!

Well said, it is really sad that so may people are judgemental. It took me, to find the best husband in the world to figure this out. Thanks, for the great words.

I decided a while back to adopt that philosophy. Who cares if the floor isn't mopped? And if they do, I can show them where it is. I have friends and family to love, so I don't have time to worry about the little stuff any more. there are bigger fish to fry

You are so right.
If we could all give up our worring thoughts. Love it.
