Always living in the present, all my events seemed to be frozen in time. Not being able to imagine Jeff or Paul being men.
Not to be able to acknowledge that I've been living without Allen for 20 long lonely years. Actually truth be told, I've been sequesered in the Peter Pan Syndrome....never wanting to grow up.
My Mother used to sing a song to me...Toyland...toyland...dear little girl and boy land...once you pass the borders, you can ne're return again.
I listened and believed in those lyrics...they came from my Mother's lips.
Well, I found out that life moves on...it's a constantly learning process...and if we refuse to move...we become stagnant.
Now my kids don't want that to happen...so they get me all this high tech stuff...and my friend Virginia just won't let me sit on my laurels...she insists that I keep my blog up to date.
So...I'm doing what is expected of me.
However, I now know that in my heart of hearts...I'm an old lady.
Somebody who also doesn't want to grow old says that today for some reason...we're 10 years younger that our chronical age.
Can that be????? Anyway...financially last year wasn't a very good year for me and a lot of others.
Fannie Mae tricked me....so did General Motors. Again I believed! I followed my greed and instinct...and it got me naught.
So now...I know that nothing is a sure thing....and we just have to roll with the times.
Speaking of which....Jerry Herman wrote a song....The Best of Times Is Now...and I do believe he is right....in fact, I know so. So..this is my wish!

Well Happy Birthday to a wonderful lady and dear neighbor. Age is in the eye of the beholder,that's my
motto, Who cares about a number, You feel good, life is good, so who
cares about how "old" you are. I love talking to you because you are
a well rounded person, you keep up
with the current times and you can
sure teach me about things I long
forgot. Enjoy your family and your
special day...
Happy Birthday and you have so many more to look forward to. Life is full of losses and gains as we all know. Enjoy and make the most of every day and every moment. Learn from what we have done and from others. Be happy that you had the love of your life ...some never have that and a wonderful family that loves you. We may not be like Peter Pan but if our hearts are young...we are young forever. Enjoy this day and many more to come for your in the land of sunshine ... enjoy every ray of light every day.
dearest friend,
when i grow up i want to be just like you.....
pat is right...it's not about the number, it's about the heart and soul
you have reached this important time with such grace, that it takes my breath away
you are the accumulation of such love, both given and received, that you are "timeless"
love u
