At Peace with Aging
And much gratitude to my friends47 total reviews
Comment from Verna Cole Mitchell
I enjoyed very much your poem about aging. You're not old till you're in the second half of your 80's. I'm sorry that while I was feeling love and good wishes for you, I wasn't feeling a poem, but I sent a wish with each birthday wish I read. You are special. Hugs, Verna

My lovely sister, I have been so busy and intoxicated by overindulgence of love and caring people both here and at home that I am overwhelmed and hungover. LOL.
So, I have not reviewed or answered any reviews yet. I am giddy, dumbfounded and tears are coming again, just by me telling you about it. So I am writing to you only at this point to tell you that if it is this good getting older, maybe it isn't such a bad thing after all. haha. Not like we have anything to say about it.
So you are the only one so far, except for answering many PMs. After all, nothing like a big sis to come home from a good time and have someone to tell about it.
I haven't read all the comments from all 12 posts but I have read a few and I saw your lovely ones and I thank you with all my heart.
Much love to you, Debi

You are worth every sweet poem and note! Love you! Verna

Well said, Debi. No matter how much time we have left, there's plenty to smile about - you may have to dig for it - but then if you're the reason to smile none of us will have to dig far. Life is what you make it and yours is the best. Have a wonderful week. Frank

Yup, age is just a number. But - we do feel anxious each time that date rolls around! On the other hand, each new year brings more opportunities to make new friends, keep in touch with old ones, and to write about your blessings. Keep smiling and embrace each minute.

My mother taught me many things, but one stands tallest in my mind. She said, "Why bitch, actually she used the word complain, about things you can't control, don't give them the chance of wearing you down? Fight about what you can fix.'
She was right. But gee it took me a long time to learn.
I volunteer in a train museum. Someone came in today and told me a joke. Why do they have mail trains? I foolishly asked. Femail trains don't work.
Apologies, but the medication is working.

Thanks for the poem Debi. Excellent as usual. We pretty well all become a bit obsessed with age. Especially as we get older. But you are right not to think about age at all. In fact, I often feel released because of my age.
Keep on writing Debi and have a great day.
Cheers
