114 Year Old Man

A L O H A !

Thanks for visiting-

Listen to this forgotten gem:




The 114 year old man says:

 
"Cherish your friends-

Don't live in the past,

embrace change;






Embrace it!

Only eat 2 meals a day;

Be hungry for life. . . "





><}}(°>

"The whole theory of the universe
is directed unerringly
to one single individual -
namely to You."

Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass, 1892

Which one is the 114 year old man? Hope you're having a happy day!!

Hilary said...

I first read "14 year old man." That would have been a lot of wisdom for one kidlet. ;)

Cloudia said...

LOL!

Great to see you two friends :-)

Rosaria Williams said...

The grandness of the universe points to its creator.

Thank you for sharing the advise and wisdom. He just passed away right?

I agree embrace change or you'll be left behind and out in the cold :-).

Kay said...

I do, I do cherish my friends! And I cherish you, my friend. Two meals a day? Sorry... that would be hard for me. I'm working on embracing change, but it's hard. I'll need another 60 years to work on doing all this.

Friko said...

Be hungry for life . . . .
that's good advice.

Beautiful song! I also like the quote of Buddha in your previous post:"We are formed and molded by our thoughts.
Those whose minds are shaped by selfless thoughts
give joy when they speak or act.
Joy follows them like a shadow
that never leaves them. "


Buddha

Great post!

Only eat 2 meals a day

My granddad did the same thing usually, exceptions were on holidays when he had fun.

Charles Gramlich said...

Or stated another way, Just hang loose, just have fun. Sitting under a cocoanut tree in the sun. Don't try to fight it, its no use. When you're in Hawaii you must just hang loose.

Lana Gramlich said...

Great quote. I needed that. :)

Only 2 meals? That sounds a bit harsh, but is obviously one way to stay fit and healthy. I, too, wonder who is the 113 year old man....
