My Birthday is coming quickly


  • I don't worry that much about numbers. This includes age, weight, height. I let the doctors worry about them. That is why I have medical insurance.


  • Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches in life will always pull you down.


  • Keep learning. Never let the brain go into idle. The devil's name is Alzheimer's.


  • Enjoy little things like a blond grand child's smile and a red hammock.


  • Laugh often. Sometimes laugh so hard milk can squirt out your nose. Laugh until you gasp for breath.


  • In life tears happen. But you have to endure, grieve, and move on. You have to be alive when you are alive.


  • Surround yourself with what you love; it may be a black and white hairy dog, or an old pickup. Remember your home is a place of peace.


  • Don't take guilt trips. Better to go fishing, driving in the hills, walking by the sea shore. Guilt trips is just not where I want to go.


  • Tell the people you love that you love them every time you see them.


  • And probably the most important: I may be getting older but I still refuse to grow up, sometimes to the detriment of others around me.
