Oh, to have had the maturity I now posess when I was younger. I can now see past the "outer packaging" that covers people. An untidy wrap could hide a treasure......a pretty box a sting!!!! |

Give me back my youth - Each added year becomes more hazardous, legs begin to ache, back starts to droop, brain begins to hurt.. Oh, I've had 73 wonderful years...But although I have great friends etc., I also had greater friends when I was a teenager - and I had my youth.....you can't beat it.... |

what thought provoking words Belair. You've made me sit up and think. Tomorrow instead of avoiding the MIRROR I'll face it fair and square and ignore those wrinkles and sagging jaw with great defiance! |

The friends we have now we have known for over 40years, some my husband went to primary school with. We go out with some or all of these friends every week, and holiday with some, we all try to get together for s short break in December usually about 18/20 of us. |

Loved the words. particularly empathise with the fact that you're lucky to get to be grey etc when others haven't My mother died when she was 56 and having got past that by a couple of years and having taken early retirement I am already enjoying free time that she never had chance to have. Grateful for every day she didn't get now |
