These things have never worked for me in the past; however, ever
the optimist..............................??


As I've aged, I've become kinder to myself, and less critical of
myself. I've become my own friend.

I have seen too many dear friends leave this world, too soon;
before
they understood the great freedom that comes with aging.

Whose business is it, if I choose to read, or play, on the
computer,
until 4 AM, or sleep until noon? I will dance with myself to
those
wonderful tunes of the 50, 60 & 70's, and if I, at the same
time, wish
to weep over a lost love, I will.

I will walk the beach, in a swim suit that is stretched over a
bulging
body, and will dive into the waves, with abandon, if I choose
to,
despite the pitying glances from the jet set. They, too, will
get old.

I know I am sometimes forgetful. But there again, some of life
is just
as well forgotten. And, I eventually remember the important
things.

Sure, over the years, my heart has been broken. How can your
heart not
break, when you lose a loved one, or when a child suffers, or
even
when somebody's beloved pet gets hit by a car? But, broken
hearts are
what give us strength, and understanding, and compassion. A
heart
never broken, is pristine, and sterile, and will never know the
joy of
being imperfect.

I am so blessed to have lived long enough to have my hair
turning
gray, and to have my youthful laughs be forever etched into deep
grooves on my face. So many have never laughed, and so many have
died
before their hair could turn silver.

As you get older, it is easier to be positive. You care less
about
what other people think. I don't question myself anymore. I've
even
earned the right to be wrong.

So, to answer your question, I like being old. It has set me
free. I
like the person I have become. I am not going to live forever,
but
while I am still here, I will not waste time lamenting what
could have
been, or worrying about what will be. And I shall eat dessert
every
single day (if I feel like it).

MAY OUR FRIENDSHIP NEVER COME APART, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S
STRAIGHT
FROM THE HEART!

Forward this to at least 7 people, and see what happens on your
screen. You will laugh your head off!!!!!!!!!!!
