Do not regret growing older. It is a privilege denied to many - unknown

In the last week more of my family and friends have said something about getting old, more then usual. So to celebrate the wisdom of others here are some quotes for you:

Life is a grindstone. Whether it grinds us down or polishes us up depends on us. -- Thomas L. Holdcroft


We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give. -- Winston Churchill

Live as if your were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever. -- Gandhiji

Nobody gets to live life backward. Look ahead, that is where your future lies. -- Ann Landers


It is not length of life, but depth of life. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson


The aging process has you firmly in its grasp if you never get the urge to throw a snowball. ~Doug Larson


Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. ~Samuel Ullman



There is always a lot to be thankful for, if you take the time to look. For example, I'm sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don't hurt. ~Author Unknown

Live Love Laugh .. Age
The purse junkie no more..
