April 25, 2023 at 9:21 am*THE LAST LEG OF LIFE !!!* Most of us are now in the last quarter of our life and should read this interesting piece of advice ๐ This is one of the nicest and most gentle articles Iโve read in a while: No politics, No religion and No racial issues – just food for thought. You know, time has a way of moving quickly and catching you unaware of the passing years. It seems just yesterday that I was young and embarking on my new life. Yet, in a way, it seems like years ago, and I wonder where all the years went ? I know that I lived them all. I have glimpses of how it was back then and of all my hopes and dreams. However, here it is, the last quarter of my life and it catches me by surprise !!! How did I get here so fast ?? Where did the years go and where did my youth go?? I remember well, seeing older people through the years and thinking that those older people were years away from me and that I was only on the first quarter and that the fourth quarter was so far off that I could not visualise it or imagine fully what it would be like. Yet, here it is !! My friends are retired and getting grey, they move slower and I see an older person now. Some are in better and some worse shape than me, but I see the great change. Theyโre not like the ones that I remember who were young and vibrant. But, like me, their age is beginning to show and we are now those older folks that we used to see and never thought we’d become. Each day now, I find that just getting a shower is a real target for the day and taking a nap is not a treat anymore !! It’s mandatory because if I don’t of my own free will, I fall asleep where I sit. And so, now I enter into this new season of my life unprepared for all the aches and pains and the loss of strength and ability to go and do things that I wish I had done, but never did. At least now I know that, though Iโm on the last quarter and I’m not sure how long it will last, that when it’s over on this earth, it’s all over. A new adventure will begin, I feel !! Yes, I have regrets. There are things I wish I hadn’t done; things I should have done, but truly there are many things I’m happy to have done. It’s all in a lifetime. So, if you’re not on the last quarter yet, let me remind you that it will be here faster than you think. So, whatever you would like to accomplish in your life do it quickly. Don’t put things off too long. Life goes by so quickly. So, do what you can today, as you can never be sure whether you’re on the last quarter or not. You have no promise that you will see all the seasons of life. So, live for today and say all the things that you want your loved ones to remember – and hope that they appreciate and love you for all the things that you have done for them in all the past years. โLifeโ is a gift to you. Be Happy !! Have a great day !! Remember, it is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold, silver or printed Notes or even property. You may think: Going out is good – but coming back home is much better !!! You forget names – but it’s okay because some people forgot they even knew you !!! You realize, you are never going to be really good at anything like golf – but you like the outdoors. So, do it. The things you used to care to do, you aren’t as interested in anymore – but, you really don’t care that you aren’t as interested. You sleep better on a lounge chair with the TV on than in bed โ you call it โpre-sleepโ !!! If you enjoy it, just do it. You miss the days when everything worked with just an โOnโ and โOffโ switch !!! You tend to use more 4 letter words โ โwhatโ and โwhenโ ? You have lots of clothes in your wardrobe, more than half of which you will never wear โ but just in case !! Old is good – โข Old is comfortable. โข Old is safe. โข Old songs. โข Old movies. โข and – best of all, โข Friends of old !!! So, stay well, โOld friend.โ Have a fantastic day. Have an awesome Quarter, whichever one youโre in !!! Take care. *Sharing this with my dab siblings Old and Youngโ and l want you to be smiling in agreement.* *It’s not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells which kind of life you have lived.* ๐บ ๐ซ.

April 25, 2023 at 4:48 pmAmen! read this today as I was having our car smog checked. It definitely struck a chord, and it too, brought a smile to this old aged face. Really, where do the years go? It seems like only yesterday I was dreaming of how I’d like my future to turn out. It’s true, life is short. To short when you really think about it. When we are young we think life will never end. When we get older, we wonder where our life went. It truly goes by much to fast. Wish i’d taken the time to stop and smell the roses more as yet another old saying goes. Oh well, I degrees, we aren’t helped by looking back and musing over how things could have been. I’m learning to have no regrets, but to be thankful the older I get for the faithfulness of our loving Father who’s brought us all out of so much, only to bring us in. — Into all that He planned for our glorious โจ future. I’m learning like Paul, to forget those things which are behind, and instead, I strain toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called you and me brothers and sisters in CHRIST, that is heavenward in CHRIST JESUS. Amen! โค

April 28, 2023 at 7:31 pmThanks brother David. And we need to be very mindful of how we spend each day. For me; I ask for daily help from the Holy Spirit to remind me that time is quickly slipping away. May God keep us firm and strong so we can finish the race set before us gallantly. Amen. ๐GCOGA ๐๐คฒ๐คฒ๐๐๐

April 28, 2023 at 11:36 pmThis is a subject that most of us on the dab wall can relate to. Thanks for starting the conversation, dear GCOGA, and thanks for your added wisdom, brother goingupsoon. I love both of your hearts and wisdom! Hereโs a few jokes about us older peopleโฆ I hope they put a giggle in your step!โจโจโจโจโจโจ 1. These are not gray hairs! They are wisdom highlights. 2. Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you donโt mind getting older, then it really doesnโt matter. 3. How is the moon like dentures? Both come out at night. 4. Now that Iโve gotten older, everythingโs finally starting to click for me. My knees, my back, my neck โฆ 5. Iโve decided: Whatever age I am, itโs the new 30! 6. What goes up but never comes down? Your age.

April 29, 2023 at 1:41 amThank you sister His.debbie for your kind words, and for these short but to the point lines of humoristic frivolity. It’s true what our sister spiritdoc1 says, that the Bible says, laughter works like a medicine. I’m beginning to feel better already. ๐๐ ๐ซ๐คฃ
BLESSINGS! In Him. โค
