To Triumph

A   L   O   H   A  !

" Passion 
rebuilds the world
 for the youth.
 It makes all things
 alive
 and significant. "

Ralph Waldo Emerson 











" One of the stereotypes
 I see breaking
 is the idea of aging
 and older women
 not being beautiful. "

 Annie Leibovitz 












" To keep the heart unwrinkled,
 to be hopeful, kindly,
 cheerful, reverent-
-that is to triumph 
over old age. "

Thomas Bailey Aldrich

That all may be true but you would still never see my pasty white legs in shorts! Wednesday is my favorite day, I get to go to 1stgrade again and hang out with the girls and read with them.

Nie trzeba myśleć, że się już jest starszym i dalej przez życie iść z pasją. Pozdrawiam.
You do not have to think that he is older now and then to go through life with a passion. Yours.

La beauté ne peut qu'améliorer l'homme et la condition humaine. En cela, ton blog fait œuvre pour notre humanité.

Oh yes, unwrinkled hearts! My favorite photo here, the group (pasty white legs and all!) hahaha, but mostly because they are all out living life- and not a cell phone in sight! Hooray, for man!

To start my day (as I have today) with one of your posts always gives me a brighter outlook on life. Megathanks.

I have a friend who is a descendant of Emerson. Fun to think of her as I read your blog. Whole thing is wonderful as ever.
