"Everyone is the age of their heart". ~Guatemalan Proverb
I had a birthday last week but my children were not able to all get together until yesterday.
When I came home from church they were at my house.
They asked me if I wanted all my candles on the cake or if it would make me sad.
I said it didn't matter.
As long as there was one candle to blow out they could do what they wanted.
(I happen to be really proud of my age because I have worked really hard to get to this point- so a bonfire was o.k. with me too.)
Anyway, they had a light-bulb moment amongst themselves
And whispered as they secretly hid their new idea for the candles.
This is what was lit up across my cake:
Squinting your eyes may help.
Do you see OLD in there or is my eyesight going too?
(Maybe I should be cognizant of the AARP and Scooter Chair mailings I have been receiving?)
"Old age is fifteen years older than I am." ~Oliver Wendell Holmes
Well of course I expected to age.
There was a time though that I went in reverse and was told how much younger I looked.
I was hoping that that would 'keep going and going and going...' The Energizer Bunny meets Mrs. Benjamin Button phase.
Apparently it didn't!
Well it has kept going, pretty fast actually, but in the other direction!
Button, Button who has my Button?
Today Dr. Oz was talking about spider veins vs varicose veins. Ugh!
He's really cute.
The veins aren't.
I sure wouldn't mind him putting support stockings on me...
Lesley Jane Seymour writes in her editor's letter in the Dec. 2009/Jan. 2010 More magazine, "...please check the bulletin board..., where I've posted a picture of my old thighs-you know, the ones that were firm and lean and fit into my sleekest pants. I woke up this morning to discover that new thighs have moved in, all mushy and puckered and shot with a spider vein or two. I'd like the others back, please. I'm offering a $10,000 reward."
That pretty much says it all more or less.
It's all coming together for me now. I asked for slippers for Christmas and these are what one of my sons bought me.
Add another personality to the mix!
There may be some advantages to this personality. It looks like she keeps her legs covered!
Maybe she knows something we don't....
Note Pete's' comment about his 'Button', remembering of course that this is a G-rated site.
