From Merrie Olde England

One of my English cousins sends me a lot of emails. Some make me blush, some make me laugh and once in awhile I get one that needs sharing, so here goes.
Do not regret growing older, it's a privilege denied to many.
I've seen better days, but I have also seen worse. I don't have every thing I want, but I have every thing I need. I wake up with the same aches and pains, but I woke up. My life may not be perfect, but I am blessed.
Spending time with children is more important then spending money on children.
Putting your phone away and paying attention to those talking to you ----- there's an App for that and it's called RESPECT.
If you are depressed, you're living in the past. If you are anxious, you're living in the future. If you are at peace, you're living in the present.
Every body is a genius. But if you judge a fish by it's ability to climb a tree. it will live it's whole life believing it is stupid. (Albert Einstein)
Two things to remember in life -- "take care of your thoughts when you are alone", and, "Take care of your words when you are with people".
Who ever said that diamonds are a girl's best friend never owned a dog.
Learn a lesson from your dog. No matter what life brings you, kick some grass over that crap and move on.

all so true.love the ones about dogs.most are just common sense which is rapidly and sadly disappearing from today's world.as i approach 75,i consider it a blessing to have lived this long,especially growing up in the 50's and 60's.wouldn't trade that for anything.my dad told me long ago that after age 72 there are no sins,so i've had 2 and a half years of icing on the cake so far.

putting away the phone - I know several folks like that and it gets old quick when the phone is more important than in-person contact.
