Good morning!!   A new week starting;   off to the dermatologist today and find out why this old skin isn't baby soft and beautiful.   I suppose after all the years of use and abuse, neglect and over doing the lotions and cremes, the skin rejects any and all offers to glow.    Wrinkles are 'something', not sure what but along with age comes build in lines of knowledge and wisdom;  well it is nice to think of them like that.    Cracks and crevices don't sound as nice.    I am sure there is little or nothing that can be done to rejuvenate them but one has to try to keep up appearances ....lines are good.

We had our monthly birthday gathering upstairs yesterday and the attendance was good.    The company is always good and the cupcakes tasty.   Two of our ladies have made the one hundred mark and that in itself is remarkable.    I am not sure how many more of us will make it, but several of us are in the running.   The mind has a way of slowly changing and it is always a surprise when you start to think of something it and is no longer there.   The inroads to the brain begin to fade a little at a time and it is not easy to remember details anymore.   There is a saying about using it or losing it and that is something to work on every day or you do lose it.   So don't wait until you 'get' there to use your brain;  make it a daily custom and keep up with the Jones.    Find reasons to use your brain each day;   write, read, sing, hum, and do have a coffee clatch or two as company will keep you active and active is what you want to be.

So today do not be a slug.   be active.   Be good, be kind, be gentle, be a friend, be YOU.    Take good care to shine today......make someone you like and love content to be in your world.    Go  S H I N E  . . . Hugs to all.
