This song should make you feel a lot better.
It's beautiful.

This is so true about old people.
I never really liked the term "Old Person" but this makes me feel better about it. And if you aren't one, I bet you know one! I got this from an "Old Person" friend of mine! OLD PERSON PRIDE I'm passing this on as I did not want to be the only old person receiving it. Actually, it's not a bad thing to be called, as you will see.
Pass this on to all of the "Old People" you know. I was taught to respect my elders. It's just getting harder to find them. |
I am not really that old but looking back you see yourself slowly losing everything meaningful, and familiar
Parents children landmarks and how many friends who passed away at 8 12 14 20 29,48
Age is never a factor when fate decides.
Strong healthy people, struck down in seconds while those who you consider ailing and withering manage to hold on till they reach ripe old ages in their 90's.
We watch them celebrate birthdays with big smiles and people ask them the secret to their longevity.
Lots of sex they tease.
Good shot of brandy before bed time.
Laughter.
Peace.
You look at these people and swear you see a halo, an aura surround them.
And then you think, well maybe they were meant to be so people could look into their beautiful old souls and be nurtured by the experience.
And as each day passes and you watch yourself getting older you can't help but ask,
will I be one of those people the young will be impressed with one day, as I am today with those born before my time?
And then you see young people with issues and drug adds helping them get over being
listless tired with irregularities and you think, where do they find time to dwell over such things when life is so full and enriching,
if only they would step outside
and take a look.
Have a great day! :)

Zuzana - ya lol
I love old people .lol
"Old people" are and have always been my favourite audience. You can never get bored when they're around.
As one of these 'Old People', I thank you for this neat post.
George - you are one of the youngest people I know lol
24 r you?
Olga you are so right
You can learn so much from them.
I don't remember WWII I was born in the middle. I don't sing and I don't wear a cap. I don't believe in politicians but not in military either because they are guided by the politicians. I think if they want to protect their country they should all go themselves in a ring, and the people watch them fighting. Lots of lives would be safed !
Gattina - I hope you realize, This is generalization.I am sure you have plenty to divulge to your son and now grandson, of your life, of the lessons you learned, survival skills, the life you had with your husband, the experiences of war and school after it was over, the changes from before to today, the painting lessons , cats, writing, work you did.......the list goes on.
In the meantime, you enjoy things you find around you, for everything that comes your way ,comes with a purpose.
