TIME GETS BETTER WITH AGE.

Just a little under the weather so filling in with some of these items. Hope that's okey and that everyone is enjoying the first day of summer. Our rain has finally stopped and now they are predicting the hot weather to set in. My least favorite time of year "o)
These little things about how our view of life changes as we get older are kind of cute. Hope you enjoy them. I totatlly agree with the last one----and no I'm not in my 90's----yet :o)

i've been in oklahoma in july. i understand why it's not your favorite time of year. and i like the comment from the 90 year old, too. we all should learn that one at a much younger age.

hope you start to feel better.

One for me to remember:"I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one,"

These were all great! Hope you get back to 100% real soon.

This was so good post! I've also learned many things during my life but when child learns so early that even a dog won't eat his broccoli - that's wisdom!
