There is a fountain of youth. It is in your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the life's of the people you love. When you learn to tap the source, you will have truly defeated age. As every day goes by in our lives we only get smarter, wiser and more knowledgeable.

One advantage to growing older is you can stand for more and fall for less. The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age. Age is only a number and mine is unlisted. It's just used for your drivers license. What else would you ever need it for? Live your life and forget your age.

Youth is a gift of nature, but age is a work of art. How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are? We are always the same age inside. If you can carry your childhood with you, you never become older.

I'll never forget. When I was working, as a nurse at the hospital I spent a few minutes talking to an elderly gentleman facing a heart surgery the following day. He told me he was 90 years old. I told him he looked great and what he attributed his longevity to. He replied, "I reckon, (with a twinkle in his eye) it's because most nights I went to bed and slept when I should have sat up worrying about something!" I'll never forget the words of wisdom from him as he knew the secret to life.

Just remember, you're not getting older you're getting better! And in the end it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.

Want to enjoy life with me for a little bit and live longer ? You know where to reach me!!
