Wake up!"<br /><br />Recently an old friend whom I've known for 40 years, but haven't seen in 25, got in touch by way of my daughter's Facebook page. I called her & we talked for 2 hours & will get together this summer. I was so happy to hear from her again.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00239163766419735693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-22253864631459825042014-04-05T14:15:10.291-04:002014-04-05T14:15:10.291-04:00Hi Thelma!

I had a friend in the Norfolk Navy Base several years ago, married to an officer there, who had all her IDs made so she would be 39 for many, many years! Way to go!

We may as well all laugh, sing, dance and celebrate in this life, because, to paraphrase others, we're not getting out alive anyway. As long as our actions aren't hurting anyone, what difference does it make what we do now or what new interests we may decide to start up in our slightly advancing age. Keep on trucking.R.T.

The verses quoted are sung there by Lee Hays. The movie itself is a great documentary about the group and well worth a "search and watch"!Dale Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10553503281187956955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-65160022437650389592014-04-05T09:53:20.270-04:002014-04-05T09:53:20.270-04:00Anonymous, you're in plenty of time!

I can identify with a lot of what you said, and I agree that neither you nor I are the kind to sit around just because of a number on the calendar, but we have reached the age that I read the obits daily. I was 60 the first time I went to MWA and was asked how old I was. I answered as I still do. I'm 93.
