Hi Sammy,

We are encouraged to grow old gracefully. I have no intention at all of doing that.

I aim to grow old disgracefully.

So beware.  

I intend to spend the rest of my life in as productive a way as is possible.

There is no such sleep to compare with the rest earned by successful toil.

How do folk find idle time, when the world is so full of wonders?

Even the most negative of events will throw up a challenge that requires a positive champion to overcome.

Roger

My 1000th Post dedicated to Roger Macdivitt

Hello Roger,

You have brought a new dimension to what we know and seems to be very comfortable with "growing old gracefully"

Now you want to grow old disgracefully! Mmmm!! I can interprete that to mean growing old actively while the former means growing old lazily with "grace"

I'll have to join you in the later. One of my friends was encouraging me just this morning to keep on with my daily exercise when I told him I was getting lazy recently and will have to give it up. He said "If you want to grow old with all your system active without being a burden to others you need to maintain your active life" Now you have just concured it.

Thank you so much Roger.
And you know what? THIS IS MY 1000th POST AND IT IS DEDICATED TO YOU AND ALL THOSE FRIENDS THAT ARE ASPIRING TO GROW OLD ACTIVELY.

Sammy,

You are too generous.

Judy,

Your grace shines from your heart for all to see.

There's no better way to start 2008 than among good friends.

Roger

Ahhhhhh Judy, 4000th post?

I was about to roll out my local dance band and pop some pots of palm wine for reaching 1000th post only to confirm you're past 4000. What a mavelous grand lady you are! So full of grace which you said you are still working to perfect. Roger has supplied the panacea - Active all the way.

I wish you the very best dear Judy, You have touched so many with your over 4000 posts reaching out to every crany and corner of the community.
