Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
God these pages are moving ever so quickly lately it's hard to keep up when you miss a day or two.
Happy big 70 RJ, welcome to Oldfartland, where hair grows in the most unexpected places, and your bones become audible when you move, if one can move that is. Where every one groans when they sit down and groan again when they rise, nod off in the middle of the day and snore loudly all night, yes my good man, as you always said, old age ain’t no place for wimps, and there’s no turning back.
Seriously though, so far the seventies has been one of my best decades and I’ve never been more settled and contented in me life, nothing bothers me anymore and I’m enjoying every minute of it, I highly recommend it to all those over 50, especially the cranky ones, of course if they wanna go sooner that’s their own business, I don’t mind.
Now that you’ve reached the three score and ten
You have earned your place among contented men
You’ve worked all your life without grumble or greed
And passed on your wisdom to those who would heed
What’s gone is gone and shed no tears
Here’s my glass raised… to the next seventy years. (compliments of The Sausage Factory
)
A bit optimistic I know, but then I’m an optimist at heart.
I must get back to the grindstone for another few hours, see ya all later.
