At Peace with Aging
And much gratitude to my friends48 total reviews
Comment from Esther Brown
A great friend of mine said "Old is 15 years older than I am". Some days I wake up feeling ancient. Others it just doesn't matter. My hubby is 10 years younger. With his curly hair and blue eyes, dimples and cleft in his chin he appears a LOT younger. Thankfully he turned gray. You look much younger than 70 in your picture.

Hi Esther, my profile picture was taken on my 65th birthday. I don't look a lot different now so thank you so much. Except that I did gain a little weight since then. So thank you for asking me to join your last contest. It was a lot of fun someplace going back some place I haven't been for a long time at five years old.LOL...
Thank you very much for this sweet review for my peace with aging.. Appreciate it very much. Love, Debi.

I enjoyed very much your poem about aging. You're not old till you're in the second half of your 80's. I'm sorry that while I was feeling love and good wishes for you, I wasn't feeling a poem, but I sent a wish with each birthday wish I read. You are special. Hugs, Verna

My lovely sister, I have been so busy and intoxicated by overindulgence of love and caring people both here and at home that I am overwhelmed and hungover. LOL.
So, I have not reviewed or answered any reviews yet. I am giddy, dumbfounded and tears are coming again, just by me telling you about it. So I am writing to you only at this point to tell you that if it is this good getting older, maybe it isn't such a bad thing after all. haha. Not like we have anything to say about it.
So you are the only one so far, except for answering many PMs. After all, nothing like a big sis to come home from a good time and have someone to tell about it.
I haven't read all the comments from all 12 posts but I have read a few and I saw your lovely ones and I thank you with all my heart.
Much love to you, Debi

You are worth every sweet poem and note! Love you! Verna

Well said, Debi. No matter how much time we have left, there's plenty to smile about - you may have to dig for it - but then if you're the reason to smile none of us will have to dig far. Life is what you make it and yours is the best. Have a wonderful week. Frank

Hi Frank, I appreciate you so much, as you are sweet as they come.
Yes, I was so worried about this birthday, but then after all the lovely poems and stories that were written for me on my birthday, I thought how can you feel down when there are so many people showing love.
So thank you, my wonderful friend for your most kind words and I feel even better than I have in a long time.
Love, Debi

My pleasure, Debi. Be happy.
Comment from June Sargent
Yup, age is just a number. But - we do feel anxious each time that date rolls around! On the other hand, each new year brings more opportunities to make new friends, keep in touch with old ones, and to write about your blessings. Keep smiling and embrace each minute.

Hi June, yes, I was so worried about this birthday, but then after all the lovely poems and stories that were written for me on my birthday, I thought how can you feel down when there are so many people showing love. It was just it came so fast. But then we all go through thinking the same thing.
So thank you, my wonderful friend for your most kind words and I feel even better than I have in a long time.
Love, Debi
Comment from bob cullen
My mother taught me many things, but one stands tallest in my mind. She said, "Why bitch, actually she used the word complain, about things you can't control, don't give them the chance of wearing you down? Fight about what you can fix.'
She was right. But gee it took me a long time to learn.
I volunteer in a train museum. Someone came in today and told me a joke. Why do they have mail trains? I foolishly asked. Femail trains don't work.
Apologies, but the medication is working.

Hahahaaha! Gol dang it Bob, I should know better than to be drinking something when I am answering your review, because it is coming back out again when I start to laugh. So is there another answer to the joke? However, I am laughing so hard that it doesn't matter.
Yes, all the love that I received from so many people here and at home made me realize that since I feel like I am still 22 inside, that is the way I should continue to feel. And your mom was right, whether she said bitch or complain doesn't matter. She was a wise woman. Must be where you get yours from.
But I bet you got your amazing wit from your dad. Never lose that, my awesome friend, because that is what I love about you the most.
Thanks for this wonderful review, comments and those generous six stars.
You my friend are the best. Lotsa love, Debi

Debi, this smile on my face won't vanish for hours. Your reply really has brightened my day. Thank you.

Some days we all need a boost, and your reply just now was the boost I needed. Thank you so kindly.
-
That is exactly how I felt about your review, Bob. Thank you for always making me laugh or feel good about myself too.

And she bred really super guys.
Comment from Barry Penfold
Thanks for the poem Debi. Excellent as usual. We pretty well all become a bit obsessed with age. Especially as we get older. But you are right not to think about age at all. In fact, I often feel released because of my age.
Keep on writing Debi and have a great day.
Cheers
Barry Penfold.
