Another birthday! My Mother often said "Never regret growing older, many are denied the privilege." I am now several years older than she was at her death. So I try to accept the wrinkles and the gray hair and am grateful for my good health. Dave, a dear friend of my husband's, always told us "Wrinkles, gray hair or NO hair--they don't hurt! Only worry about things that cause pain." Each day is a gift, to enjoy and share. They do seem to pass quicker than they use to. So we need to write a note to a dear friend or relative, enjoy a cup of tea, read a good book, say a prayer, or just sit in the sun and do nothing. We should not waste a moment. Resentment, anger, & all negative thoughts are a waste of precious time. Try to forgive, insist on forgetting. Hopefully we learn from the past, to ensure a better, more pleasant future. Not "some" day, but today! Happy Birthday to me! Happy Year to come!
