But, you know, I wake up every morning so thankful that God has given me another day to live. I am healthy, happy and full of living so I just want to say to all of you.... get up off your couch, outta your chair, get doing... go about each day filled with gratitude and fun.
These days it doesn't take much to make me happy... just little things most times. Like spending time with people I enjoy, having some good food, listening to good music, reading, traveling, trying something new. You are not too old... so live a little.
Here I am boating with my son.
Take time to enjoy your grandchildren. Having a game of Scrabble with my grandson.
Try something new... Here is my grandson and his girlfriend helping me set up a new Instagram account where I encourage us older folks to live life to the fullest. I am an active Blogger, Facebook user, have Pinterest and Instagram. So, I dabble a bit in the tech world.
Don't be afraid to step through a new door. You might be surprised at what you find on the other side.

This was good to read. Even in their old age they will be full of sap and green...Psalm 92:14. Full of sap-- hehehe...That sounds funny.

ReplyDeleteHaving a positive attitude and being thankful in all things is good for our health!
Rejoice always! I Thessalonians 5:16
I totally agree with your outlook on life dear Latane - you are quite a role model for us all!
ReplyDeleteI have a big birthday looming (75), how on earth did I ever get to be this age! When I went through cancer in my forties I never dreamed I'd live this long - but, like you, I feel blessed and thankful for each and every day.
Hugs and blessings dear lady.

ReplyDeleteThis was ALL great advice, Latane. Sadly too many people seem to stop living at a certain age. Glad you are certainly NOT one of them!
