"DON'T GROW OLD" Wednesday

Posted by: bigguyhereagain <bigguyhereagain@...>

"DON'T GROW OLD"
 
 
Don't ever grow too old for birthdays,
fun-things that you used to do,
Don't give up your dreams because you
feel that they have not come true.
 
Don't forget the sound of laughter,
or the love in someone's eyes,
Don't trade memories for pleasures,
all that in a moment dies.
 
Don't give up your zest for living,
saying you are much too old,
Is this what you feel, or is it
something that you have been told?
 
There's a valley deep within us,
where there is eternal Spring,
Where there is no sound of sorrow,
and the birds forever sing.
 
Though your gait is not as steady,
now as once it used to be,
And your vision's clouding over
things you use to clearly see,
 
Do not let the weight of decades,
turn you into bitter gall,
For with age there comes a wisdom,
that's a blessing to us all.
 
Hold your years up like a banner,
wave it brightly in the sun,
When folks tell you life is over,
tell them it has just begun.
 
Loneliness can never touch you,
if you don't allow it to,
And in sharing love with others,
God will give it back to you
 
 
"A Few Simple Truths"
 
      

1. No one can ruin your day without YOUR permission.

2. Most people will be about as happy as they decide to be.

3. Others can stop you temporarily, but only you can do it
permanently.

4. Whatever you are willing to put up with, is exactly what you will
have.

5. Success stops when you do.

6. When your ship comes in.... make sure you are willing to unload it.

7. You will never "have it all together."

8. Life is a journey.... not a destination. Enjoy the trip!

9. The biggest lie on the planet: "When I get what I want,
I will be happy."

10. The best way to escape your problem is to solve it.

11. I've learned that ultimately 'takers' lose and 'givers' win.

12. Life's precious moments don't have value, unless they are shared.

13. If you don't start, it's certain you won't arrive.

14. We often fear the thing we want the most.

15. Everyone hears what you say. Friends listen to what you
have to say. Best friends listen to what you don't say!

16. Yesterday was the deadline for all complaints.

17. Look for opportunities.... not guarantees.

18. Life is what's coming.... not what was.

19. Success is getting up one more time.

20. Now is the most interesting time of all.

21. When things go wrong.... don't go with them.

22. Sometimes the majority only means that all the fools
are on the same side.

23. God can mend all broken hearts. You just have to
give Him all the pieces.

24. Anyone who asks a question might be a fool for 5 minutes, but a
person who doesn't ask, is a fool forever.

25. A best friend is like a four leaf clover.... hard to find,
and lucky to have.

26. A friend is someone who reaches for your hand
but touches your heart.

27. A coincidence is when God performs a miracle,
and decides to remain anonymous.

28. I don't have to attend every argument I'm invited to.

29. Your worst days are never so bad that you are beyond the reach of
God's grace.... and your best days are never so good that you are beyond
the need of God's grace.

30. Our eyes are placed in front because it is more important
to look ahead than to look back.
