The Bravest Wisest Age

A  L  O  H  A !
 Monday in the Pond with George

"I have reached an age when, 
if someone tells me to wear 
socks, I don't have to." 
            Albert Einstein

Einstein was up the road 
at Princeton when I was growing up in that area. Despite his genius, I do recall some people disapproving of  his habit of
not wearing socks. Even as I kid, I wanted to tell them: "He's a genius who's changed our world with his thoughts. What have YOU done with your proper attire?!"
Never did. Wanted too. Thinking about it now, this insight
is what gave me the courage to let my freak flag fly in many ways back in the "Hippie" days. Thank You Einstein!









Oh My Windy Windy Feathers


"How old would you be if you 
didn't know how old you was?" 
             Satchel Paige







Another One in the Books

"Too many people, 
when they get old, 
think that they have to 
live by the calendar." 
                          John Glenn 

US Senator (and pioneering astronaut)
Glenn went on a mission aboard 
the U.S. Space Shuttle at age 77








Here's to senior's.
They've been through a lot!
No one has the experience they've got.
Whoever, wherever; Deserving respect.
Zen like they savor This Minute - Today
with deep courage and gratitude 
just keeping along the way. 

Thank YOU
for walking with
US!
            Fondly, cloudia
