There were a lot of things I was not supposed to do because, after all, senior citizens don't do .......and whatever. While old age can be a good excuse for things you don't want to do, it mainly exists in the brain of the others, not myself.

Wonderful quotes, Lilo.

Happy birthday, mwheel,from me too. Did not notice any change when I changed from 79 to 80.

The joy and wonderment of learning about ourselves and the world around us give us the desire to continue and experience more of life. The mindset to pursue that natural knowledge is the catalyst that results in that desire for life.

Thanks for the birthday wishes; turning 80 didn't bother me, b/c, as the "Uppity Blues Women" sing, "Age Ain't Nothin' But A Number", and someone else said, "80 is just what comes after 79".

Henry Ford's words are so apt; the older I become the more I realize there's always something new to learn. I hope I can keep on learning, as long as I'm here.
