"Act Old Later"
That inscription was on a pencil my friend gave me the other day...what good advice. We have plenty of time to be "old". Being a kid at heart is not such a bad thing.
My good friend is an example of that everyday. A lot can be learned from watching the way she approaches life.
When on our walk this morning, she stopped to admire a brilliant display of color on the wet road. It was a spot of oil that made a beautiful rainbow on the pavement. I would have walked right on by. "Small things amuse me," she said.
I had to chuckle as I thought back on some of her favorite things to do while we walk. A frozen puddle is her favorite...even in it means getting off of our walking path so she can go break it.
She old of another day she went on a hike and couldn't resist rolling rocks. How many puddles and rocks do you walk by?
A card isn't complete unless she puts something in it...usually confetti. I can't count the number of times I have opened a card from her in my car and confetti spills everywhere...I just laugh.
Thanks dear friend...for keeping me young!
Growing old is inevitable, Growing up is optional!
True!
