Some More Thoughts On Age...!

Here's another one I got from my Baby Sis.

I hope this poem has the same effect on you as it did on me. If it does, then my work is done!

Walk with me by the water - worth the read...

A BEAUTIFUL POEM ABOUT GROWING OLDER:


Crap...
I forgot the words....

Guess that about says it all! Ya know, sometimes I worry about Baby Sis! Why does she always seem to find these things to send to me? Reckon she is trying to tell me something? NAW!!! Surely not!

Coffee inside this morning! It's colder than an ex mother-in-law's heart outside!

    Perfect - that's a poem even I can remember!!! I'm just starting to get "old", and it's a blow to my ego to HAVE to write things down to remember them now when my memory USED to be SO good, and it kills me that I NEED "task lighting" and reading glasses for small print or if the light isn't great.....sigh.

    Hey Mystic...
    One good thing about getting older...it sure beats the alternative!

    Besides, compared to me you are still just a youngster!

    I really appreciate you dropping by this morning!

    1000 words of perfection they be

    silent be the words of the poem yet for every ear to hear.

    for they be words of memories past

    memories of sadness, memories of joy, from each we learned of the other

    silent be the words so that the memories may speak of what we be

    tis our memories that write the words of the poem, each to our own

    Bubba -

    Just sharing what I can remember of a truly great poem. Bet lots of your followers didn't know that you were the Class Poet of your graduating class, huh? We were always taught to appreciate poetry and encouraged to write some of our own, weren't we? You and Mom were the most successful at it, I believe, and this one today would have been of my more memorable contributions, if only I could remember.....

    Big hugs - see you tomorrow

    I have one suviving aunt in a nursing home and we make and send cards to here every weekday. I write a poem for each card. Not an easy job.

    Gotta keep my secret past a secret. Don't remember why!

    Thanks for coming over today!


    Hey Momlady...
    I hate it when that happens! And it does, more and more lately!

    Hope things are going good for you right now!

    Hey Linda...
    I can certainly associate with that! Maybe it's just because we are wiser?

    I really appreciate the visit! You stay warm up there!


    Hey John...
    Man, don't ask me! I don't have an answer! In fact, I forgot the question!

    LOL! I don't know what made me laugh more, the poem or your comment about the ex-mother-in-law. :)

    Thanks for the laughter this morning, I hope you have a wonderful day.

    Couldn't be more appropriate for me today!

    Two people friended me on Facebook. No clue who they are. My sister-in-law is friends with both so I asked her about them. Silence on the other end of phone.

    Finally she says: "You're kidding right?"

    "Nope!"

    "Good God, you are losing it! You joke about it but you really are!"

    The first "friend" was a year behind me in school & I had a crush on her brother all the way through grade school & high school!

    The second was a cousin to my sister-in-law who called an ambulance when I went off the road & through a windshield a few months after high school graduation. She really did save my life due to the extent of my injuries.

    I felt like...well, I can't even find the words.

    I need more than brain food, medication or therapy. I need a brain transplant!
