Perspectives

When I was young
  laughter and love played
at the corners of the world's
  smiling face

They still do
  though I am no longer young

Laughter cures all ails I hear, sometimes we lose it to others negativity, to chains that bind, just like the first comment it just takes someone that can lift you back to where you belong, a happy Gershon . . . : )

They say "Age is just a number" and to me, "Youth is eternal if you let your spirit believe it is". Not easy to achieve they say. Wonderful write Gershon!!ab

Go for it, Anselmo... As for me: The spirit is very willing; often, however, the flesh is very weak. Joys of aging, gw

Nicely penned Gershon. The smile has receded a bit too but yes they are both still there.

There are exercises, I've heard, for a 'receding smile.' LOL. (That's the first exercise). ~ gw

Milt, you have done a great good deed today. Your comment has lifted my spirits from a dark place. The last 48 hours had been stormy for me. Just reading this comment has lifted my gloom and the surrounding storm. I really mean it, and I thank you for reaching out to a friend in need!! Many blessings; much bounty. Light and Hope, Gershon
