I forgot to mention that that time will be here before you know it.  Do everything you can while you are able.  You never know about tomorrow.

That sounds like a plan, RckyMtn..............

Help yourself.  When you're feeling down, read it.

Thanks for reading.

The more ordinary miracles the better.  Of course, just one would be more than I can ask for :).

Thanks for this one

MaggieMae....What a beautiful post. I hope I can age as graciously as you.

You've really touched on what is really important in life. Thanks for sharing this. I believe I am going to print this one out so I can read it when I'm feeling down about my age going up! LOL

It really does.  I've read it three times - it speaks from the heart.

You're pretty special and I love you too.

This is so special. If only we could tell others who are still young how we really feel, this has. I love it and you. Have a blessed day dear lady.

They should and I hope they see this post - if not here, somewhere.

yes, mneme, you are right..........

I don't worry about things and let them bother me like I used to.  If I can't change it, I can't worry about it. 

This is a great post about aging and I hope it gets read by a lot of people. 

Thanks, mneme.  God bless.

Hello, jacenta............

I'm so glad you came out of your hole. hahahaha  It's so good to see you our here amongst us.

It's beautiful here in Ohio, I do think that winter is over.  I love seeing everything bud and blossom.  I've just been home a short while from having PT.  The therapist gave me a big workout and I had my best walk yet since I was sick.  I'm getting stronger each day.  I'm beginning to think that the weather plays a big part in my ability to breathe.  At least, since it's warmed up, breathing has been easier.  This is the third day that I've not had to put the oxygen on, so what do you think?  It needs to stay nice, like it is now (about 70-75 degrees).

You be careful on that motorcycle and God bless, my friend.

Good morning Sissy
Wonderful post and wise women should know these things..

- Good thoughts..! The best part about being older is that you can let so many things just wash over you. I liked being twenty-four and I like being "xx-4".  Like it says, I cried more as the years passed and my heart is not as soft as it was because it's had a few knocks, but it still works and I still love.. as do you.

You don't have to copy and paste it.  You can print it.  Of course, you can have it.  It's not mine.  I just came across it and wanted to share it with you.

Enjoy.  God bless.

MaggieMae, I love this. Im not sure how to copy and paste but do I have
your permission to copy it?? love it love it love it.  yesterday in church the priest was old and shaky,barely able to put the communion into the bowls.  My son pitied him.  and I replied dont pity him,look at his eyes.  They are alive with his joy in the Lord and the fact he can still serve mass.I could see the young boy in the priests eyes.
