George Carlin's Views on Aging

Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions.

'How old are you?' 'I'm four and a half!' You're never thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going on five! That's the key.

You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead.

'How old are you?' 'I'm gonna be 16!' You could be 13, but hey, you're gonna be 16! And then the greatest day of your life ! You become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony.YOU BECOME 21. YESSSS!!!

But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk! He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There's no fun now, you're Just a sour-dumpling.. What's wrong? What's changed?

You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40. Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away. Before you know it, you REACH 50 and your dreams are gone...

But! wait!! ! You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you would!

So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and make it to 60.

You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After that it's a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday!

You get into ! your 80's and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30; you REACH bedtime. And it doesn't end there. Into the 90s, you start going backwards; 'I Was JUST 92.'

Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. 'I'm 100 and a half!'
May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!!

HOW TO STAY YOUNG
1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay them.

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

3.Keep learning. ! Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever, even ham radio. Never let the brain idle. 'An idle mind is the devil's workshop.' And the devil's family name is Alzheimer's.

4. Enjoy the simple things.

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.

6... The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love , whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever.Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don't take guilt trips.. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.

10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
And if you don't send this to at least 8 people - who cares?But do share this with someone. We all need to live life to its fullest each day!!

Life's journey is not to
arrive at the grave safely
in a well preserved body,
but rather to skid in sideways,
totally worn out, shouting
'..holy sh*t ....what a ride!'

I just found out that Esther has passed on from this life. This information is soooo shocking. My heart is crying. I visited Demi's page, and he had an obituary on there! Before reading this, I thought she just was busy living life and that is why I hadn't heard from her for a while -- why did this happen? So, being curious, I found an article in a Malaysian newspaper. This information is numbing and dismaying!!! She died from smoke inhalation! Her bedroom was all burnt up, with her in it.
How horrible. The newpaper said she had lost her job and was last seen two days before the fire. Poor Esther!!


Esther was such a sweetie, so clever and funny, intelligent and well-meaning. My idaughter was full of love and life. How she babied her splendid, little baby puppy and rejoiced with happiness over great things that happened to herself, family, and friends. After getting to know one another by commenting on each other's blog, she asked me to be her imom and then we wrote each other. It was so enjoyable corresponding with her and reading her blog here on Opera. Sugar quickly became a favorite person of mine. Seeing the world through her eyes was so refreshing. We leaned on each other when I missed my daughter and she missed her mom. Whenever I hear certain songs, I will think of her.

My sympathies to all her family, her lovely mom and grandfather that she loved so much and wrote so sweetly about. She was so excited about living together and getting her car.

Now the earth angel is a heavenly one, I am sure her puppy is up there with her being pushed around in his buggy.

Sugarwinx, I will always miss you.

I wonder if my husband would agree with all of this; some, yes, I think. lol
