Have to agree with Ed K at the bottom - you do find the most inspiring and amazing quotes... this one is worth its weight in pure 24 karat, like your golden quill, here, too, M'Lady A. And, of course, MANY HAPPY RETURNS, GOLDEN GIRL!! And I am right behind you, just a couple of years and catching up fast, so you'd better keep ahead!! Seriously, it's onward and upwards for us, my dear, and I am honestly in better shape now than I have been for about twenty years' - mind you, that's not difficult!! LOL and GO FOR IT!! LOL Kate xx

For that, a mighty toll was levied. But this piece shows that you've used those years well to become a formidible poetic force. By the way, computers provide a number of ways that print can be enlarged for easier viewing by those that need it.

Except for arthritic joints, diseased lungs, failing kidnesy, eyesight going, veriocose viens, hearing loss, memory shot to hell, heart palpatations, wrinkled skin, . . . uh, you get the idea, I guess. About the only damn thing i have found to my benefit as I grow older is that people actually think I am smarter than I ma, or ever have been. That is something you need to cultivate. Happy Birthday!

Welcome to the Age of Wisdom! May you join us in casting off those shackles of self-doubt, those momentary lapses in time when you wonder where you're going. It's all here... all the marvelous shedding of old, dry skin. Here, you will find seasoned friends. Experiences past will bring life into focus and you will revel in even a moment's joy, a lifetime of getting here.

All aboard, Anita... now the fun REALLY begins! (smile) You have created a milestone already, with this poignant piece, which it has been my sincere pleasure to read. Full steam ahead! katy xox.
