Aging....Important Facts

Tuesday, June 5, 2018

Important facts to remember as you grow older

This piece has been going around the Internet for several years but I thought it worth reposting. A lot of humor and a little bit of truth. Enjoy!
 


 Death is the number 1 killer in the world.
 We aren't getting out of this life alive, so relax and enjoy it, regardless of the ride!

 Life is sexually transmitted.
 You may have to think about this one for a bit...LOL!

 Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.
 Hmmm, true, but I'd rather have good health than not!
 

 Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day. Teach a person to use the Internet and they won’t bother you for weeks, months, maybe years.
 Unfortunately (or not), very true, but this is the price of progress.
 

 Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in the hospital, dying of nothing.
 This one makes me laugh - but still no excuse for not maintaining your good health (if you still have it).
 

 All of us could lake a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.
 I need to tape this one on my mirror so I read it every morning. For many years, I worried way too much about what other people thought of me.
 

 In the 60s, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take drugs to make it normal.
 Not so sure about this one...the world has always been weird to it's current occupants. And drugs aren't the answer, in most cases.

 Don’t worry about old age: It doesn’t last that long.
 Ah yes, back to "Death is the #1 killer in the world"!


Ciao for now!

Just because I'm old....

Monday, May 21, 2018

Just because I'm old, doesn't mean I can't be a teensy bit flamboyant! I spent all my working life dressed in conservative clothes, especially suits. That said, it always took me to a fad was almost out to adopt it. I loved red, my mother always dressed me in blues, but it took my until my forties when I had my colors done that I need warm colors, not cool.

Being a septuagenerian, I've decided to let loose a bit. I actually started in the second half of my sixties and now I'm really breaking out. LOL!

My first "outside my comfort zone" was on our cruise in January 2017. My weight was down and I found a couple pairs of leggings, on Amazon from ViV Collection, that I really liked. Here is one of the pair as I get ready for dinner that night. I love the look and the bright colors.



They work at home as well, comfortable as all get out and not overly warm, thus the flip-flops.

Cooler weather set in and I found these heavier weight leggings at Wally World. They kept me deliciously warm and toast while still comfortable all winter long.


Spring finally arrived and it was time to get some capris. I fell in love with these pastel skulls I found at Wally World online. I just love them, even if I would never wear them outside the house. LOL!

Not as colorful, but still fun! These are ViV Collection, from Amazon, still my favorite company for leggings.

Has your clothing style changed as you've aged? Are you less formal? More comfortable? Brighter or drabber?

Oh, btw, I love colorful socks, too! The fun ones from Blue-Q are my favorites! When I get compliments on certain ones, I have to take a shoe off and show them the rest of the sock. LOL!

Ciao for now!
