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. YES!

             
But then you turn 30. 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.  hehehe

What's wrong?

What's changed?
             
You BECOME 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 80's 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!!


             
HOW TO STAY YOUNG

             
1. Throw out ALL nonessential numbers.
This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them.
That is why you pay 'them'

             
2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches will pull you down.

            
3. Keep learning.
Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever.
Never let the brain idle. 'An idle mind is the devil's workshop.'
And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.

             
4. Enjoy the simple things.

             
5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.

             
6. The tears happen.
 Endure, grieve, and move on.
The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves.
Be ALIVE while you are alive.

            
7. Surround yourself with what you love , whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever.
Your home is your refuge.


8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it.
If it is beyond what you can improve, get help. 

9. Don't take guilt trips.
Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; or to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.


10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every given opportunity.

             
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.


Whoops!



Good Morning All;
I hope your weekend was "wunnaful" !
Great football games yesterday too.  With Minnesota's loss, I do not know who to root for come Super Bowl Sunday? (I just SO wanted to root against the Vikings in the Super Bowl). hehehe
How much ya wanna bet that poor Brett will retire... again? 

Life goes on...

Freezing drizzle today, more snow, and the like...
Tomorrow to be colder. And that darn Canada is already gearing up for us to be in Minnesota. It will be below zero by the time we get there.
Of course it will. Why am I not surprised? hehehe

These are not the birthday party pictures you are waiting for.
But they do tell their own story.
