Celebration

Thinking about life...
And death...
Too many die too young, too soon, but never too old so we say. The older the better.

Although, with recent news accounts of Tim Russert's passing,just two months older than myself, hit and runs, hospital waiting room deaths all this proves to me we should celebrate each day! Not to mention all the other deaths of loved ones, two and four footed, in my past that I still remember.
One never knows, does one?

We should aim to be congratulated by Willard Scott and Smucker's on our 100th!

Yesterday was my birthday, but today I am still alive so that is a good thing!
Getting older has always been my goal in life, no really.
I have quit smoking,on July 11th it will be two years, and I do not drink even wine anymore. Some do feel it is good for you, but every week it changes.
Exercising at least three times a week for a half an hour or more, and eating plenty of vegetables and fruit. We have been told those things helps ward off heart disease and cancer. Just remember to wash those eats well to remove fertilizer and Salmonella!

Just think if we didn't get any older... we would get dead.
So hurray to getting older! And I am on a mission to become as old as I can get!

The only thing that slightly annoys me is at this time of the year is that my husband and I are the same age for the next four months until his birthday when he once again will be a year older than me, TA DA!
But that comment alone is ridiculous because it obliterates my previous one about getting older.
Theoretically I should be competing on the getting older part, and wish that it was me not him that had another birthday coming up.
But in reality my wish for him is for he too to get as old as possible!

We should live each day like it is our first on this planet with the open mindedness and the sight of a new born babe, curiosity should never end, finding good in all things, people included; should be part of our nature. Saying to live each day like it is your last seems to me to live with abandonment of concern for others. I prefer to try and think of others, and forgive ourselves as well as them. Life is too short for otherwise.
In other words see the glass half full not half empty. LOL. What an old cliche, sorry!
Now that I'm older she/me thinks I am wiser...NOT!
A work in progress is what I am like all of us, oops another stupid cliche.

PS Lunch yesterday was only fair, not that great! But we did go to Baskin Robbins for a real treat after of delish ice-cream cones, mine was Jamococa Almond, and my hubbies was Cherry Vanilla, and that was sooooooooo good! It was months since we had done that.

Which way will the war go?
