Pondering Life
This is the week of my birthday. I have begun my 60th year. WoW! (Or, as a Leo- RoaR!) I sure don't feel it. I hope they are right when they say that 70 is the new 50.

Anyway, I came across some neat quotes that are appropriate for birthday weeks.
First, here's one from George Santayana that manages to keep it all in perspective:

"There is no cure for birth and death save to enjoy the interval."

Incredibly intelligent and knowledgeable physicist Richard Feynman had a good attitude about it all:

"I was born not knowing and have had only a little time to change that here and there."

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe says what only a poet and author could say so well in so short a space:

"To be pleased with one's limits is a wretched state."

Jurist Oliver Wendell Holmes speaks for all of us who are not old:

"A person is always startled when he hears himself seriously called an old man for the first time."

Finally, excellent parting words from Michael Pritchard, motivational speaker and humorist. I hope he knows of what he speaks because I sure agree with him.

"You don't stop laughing because you grow old. You grow old because you stop laughing."
