Happy Birthday To Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was talking about other things so
I didn't bother to mention that I turned 49

this week!

49?

 

Yup ... Really!

 

I was feeling a little funny
about being the same age my Mom seemed to be ...

only a year or two ago ...
Of course, it's been LONGER that that

but it feels like only a few years ago!

 

When I was little, I can remember a day taking

FOREVER ...

Now, they FLY BY!

Whole months shoot past!
It seems like I just get used to writing one year

on my checks

when it's already the NEXT year!

 

I was reading REAL SIMPLE

(a GREAT magazine, if you haven't read it yet,

do yourself a favor and buy a copy!)

when I came across

an article written about people OVER 100!

 

You already know I like quotes,

so you might like some of these ...

(Remember, these are being said by women OVER TWICE

my age ... lol)

If it's not terminal, why worry?

If it is, you can't do anything about it anyway!

 

A meal's not done until you have dessert.

 

Something good usually comes out of bad events.

 

Don't hold unto anger ...

You'll just make YOURSELF miserable.

To make a pot roast with the BEST flavor,

cook it VERY, VERY slowly.

 

Edna Anderson (100) said:

Keep walking.

You'll be so happy you can walk when you're old.

Avoid a fast talker when you are looking

for a husband.

Go for someone who's steady.

 

Volunteering gets you away from your own worries.

 

There are still happy times ahead after loss.

Always cook with fresh vegetable, never canned.

 

Marry a man who's more in love with you

than you are with him.

 

A person never gets too old to love.

 

Forgiveness really is divine.

 

If you expect perfection from everyone,

you'll be all alone.

 

 

Melva Radcliffe (105) said:

 

Anything you love is important.

 

Don't be afraid to travel.

 

Don't go abroad and eat in a chain restaurant.

Eating at a foreign place is part of the trip.

 

You'll always need your girlfriends.

 

Think twice before plastic surgery.

You might look prettier without it.

A mother should respect her children,

just as they should respect her.

 

If you're not wild about cooking,

get a microwave.

 

Eat what you're hungry for.

 

If you worry about being old,

you will be old.

 

Look for a husband that makes you laugh.


I wanted to hug everyone of these ladies

personally!

49 ... Pffffffffffbt!!!

BIG DEAL!

There'll be a day I'll give anything to be 49 again,

because

49 feels pretty good!
