Rocking Chair on sunrise field stock photo

Hi Anne-Lise, at 56 i am awaiting my later years with joyful heart. Having a young outlook on life always does help of course. As always your creativity shows in this write. Your message always comes across so easily. I almost forget my memories as they happen so writing them down would be difficult. I live my life day to day, moment to moment and i so enjoyed reading this one Anne-Lise. Old age should be just like anew suit or dress we step into. A seven for this read Anne-Lise.

Definitely creative Anne-Lise. Life goes fast, but what does it matter without Jesus Christ? Am turning 60 in less than 2 weeks, and I still feel like a kid (in my mind, not body...ha ha). Keep up the good work. Thomas

So do you milady! The pic is there for several reasons I won't bore you with, but it is 20 years earlier, right before 40. I haven't changed much though! Okay, just a little, every one gets older, but I have a 20 year old daughter and she keeps me young and busy while she goes to college.

Anne Lise, I recheck this i just want to share this: I am old but I am forever young at heart. We are always the same age inside. Know that you are the perfect age. Each year is special and precious, you can only live it once. Do not regret growing older, it's a privilege denied to many~Richard Gere... hugs!(something is wrong that i can't see the saying complete below) ;( ~ Olive Eloisa

Yes, Anne-Lise, we should write down our memories today for an additional reason: Tomorrow we may not exist! Fine writing that ought to make us think of future's uncertainty! A seven.
