Thoughts on Growing Old

on Monday, November 12, 2007

It's now 12.30 am on Monday. I'm sleepy and really am not conscious enough for upper brain functions and thoughts. Instead I offer you quips which were sent to me by my good friend, Helen the Greek Goddess. I particularly believe in the last one.

Well, one of the advantages of getting older is that your eyesight starts to deteriorate a bit, so you can't see your own wrinkles. There is a bright side to everything. :-)

Like your positive outlook. Super Kat.

meggie,
Glad you like them.

I will soon be getting bifocals. It's all downhill from here!

jocelyn,
Thanks. I hope the message of the last one is strongest.

kat,
I drew them. (pregnant pause). You weren't fooled? Okay. I have no idea where the photos come from. It was sent to me by a friend in UK.

claudia,
They say as you grow old, you shrink. Hasn't happened to me despite the diet!

You "get" them? Unfortunately, I am "giving" them away! :)

riseoutofme,
Any excuse to stop eating tasteless health food!

TC,
I always get the smiles at your blog.

ruth_d,
The last one is kind of a "get out of jail" card.

Josie,
you deserve an award for optimism. We'll call it the "Behind every hurricane there is a silver lining" Award. :)

I helped my sis in law move yesterday, primarily some very heavy furniture.

It felt good to be manly and brawny or at least pretend to be.

But I couldn't help but wonder how many more years I'll be able to do that.
