Quote To Life

In youth we can do all things.                                                                          In middle age we can still dream.                                                                      Seniors can only reminisce.

Lady Labyrinth Date: 1/18/2023 6:05:00 PM “Old age … is a good and pleasant thing. It is true you are gently shouldered off the stage, but then you are given such a comfortable front stall as spectator.” Confucius Login to Reply Paula Goldsmith Date: 1/19/2023 12:51:00 PM Thank You, for writing and for adding Confucius. Half the battle is a healthy body/mind. Once gone, it is over. Love your ending lines. We need Sanity??? I am in trouble. Hahaha. Have a great day.............. Lady Labyrinth Date: 1/18/2023 6:06:00 PM If one can maintain a healthy working mind, the more mature person, can still play the game, with intellectual gusto and one would anticipate, joy. Easier if one is not a poet, because that throws all cards up in the air, with regards to sanity.

Unseeking Seeker Date: 1/12/2023 7:31:00 PM subject to reasonable health and no financial worries, seniors yet have a feeling of fulfilment, in joy and contentment in the company of friends, family, nature. Meditation makes for inner vibrancy, otherwise joyous aloneness becomes despondent loneliness Login to Reply Paula Goldsmith Date: 1/13/2023 6:47:00 AM Thank You, for writing. So true. You say it so well. Have a great day..............

Andrea Dietrich Date: 1/11/2023 8:13:00 PM that's just about it but lucky for some, 70 is the new 50!! Login to Reply Andrea Dietrich Date: 1/13/2023 12:19:00 AM Yeah I hear it a lot from over 80s especially. I never did anything wrong but got cursed by taking a doctor's recommended drug for me and if not for that, my 60s could be golden Paula Goldsmith Date: 1/12/2023 1:11:00 PM Thanks for your note. Many say 70 is the new 50 until they have health problems. My dear friend (now dead) said, the golden years are not so golden. She was right for many.  Have a great day..............
