When your friends start flattering you how young you look, is a sure sign that they themselves are beginning to grow old Difference between "best before" and those approaching the "expiration date"? Isn't it amazing what the mind can do? Age is not about the number of years or how many lights you have on the birthday cake "If you want to, you're allowed" ... Not everything is necessarily as difficult as you might think Remember; optimists live longer - some, regret only when it is too late Have a fantastic day Think positive <3 28/01/2022 Sun :) - A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved

Thinking positive is already walking along the right path, Anne-Lise! "Best before" gives us an option of a longer period of time...let's make the most of it! Hugs // paul

Nicely written with a measure of depth, those up in years know the best candle follows the first, Ann-Lise, as the count always goes up, and up and is more fun than being number one my friend, Aloha, aka William~moving on in life.

My mom used to always say think young always my butterfly, that was her nickname for me and you will never regret it. And she also warnedf me never be a sun worshipper it ages one prematurely - I have seen the results of her wise words on some people . A great poem dear friend love and hugs Jennifer

'Not everything is difficult'.... Many things are possible even in an advanced age. It all depends on how we perceive things and how we act....! You are quite right Anne !
