Birthdays are complicated things. Both of these apply. Equally.
1. "No wise man ever wished to be younger." Jonathan Swift [Nor wise woman either.]
2. "Inside every older person is a younger person wondering what the hell happened." Cora Harvey Armstrong [You said it, Cora.]
Happy Birthday, Susan,
ReplyDeleteI hope you are having a great birthday with your dear boys(big and little)
I can see the wisdom in both the quotes you chose but I relate to the second the closest!
Where did the time go?
Happy Birthday, Susan! I hope it is great!

Belated Happy Birthday, Susan.
ReplyDeleteI have a rubber stamp that asks, "How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?" It's interesting to ponder how you would answer that.
My mother-in-law told me, when she was 78, "I've always been about 16, in my head." So her mirror was always a shock. As is mine. I'm 74 and startled when I pass a mirror. I usually chuckle and say, "Grandma, is that you?" because I look exactly like she looked at the same age.
Can you think of any age you would prefer to be now?
Bahb,
ReplyDeleteI've thought a lot about your question and think that I feel my age is exactly right: not too old, not too young.
Seems like a pretty good age to be!
Susan
