AGE ??

[SmittysPT]

Do you realize that the only time in
our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less
than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in
fractions." How old are you?" "I'm four and a half!" You're never
thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going on five!

That's the key.

You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You jump to the
next number, or even a few ahead.

"How old are you?" "I'm gonna be 16!" You could be 13, but hey, you're
gonna be 16!

And then the greatest day of your life . . you become 21.

Even the words sound like a ceremony . . . YOU BECOME 21| YESSSS!!!

But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like
bad milk. He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There's no fun now, you're
just a sour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's changed?

You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40.

Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away. Before you know it, you
REACH 50 . . . and your dreams are gone.
But wait!!! You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you would!

So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and MAKE it to 60.

You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After that it's a
day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday!

You get into your 80s and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch;
you TURN 4:30; you REACH bedtime.

And it doesn't end there. Into the 90s, you start going backwards; "I
was JUST 92."

Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a
little kid again. "I'm 100 and a half!"

May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!!

HOW TO STAY YOUNG

1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height.
Let the doctor worry about them.
That is why you pay him/her.

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening,
whatever. Never let the brain idle. " An idle mind is the devil's
workshop."

And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.

4. Enjoy the simple things.

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.

6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is
with us our entire life, is ourselves.

Be ALIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets,
keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable,
improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, to the next county,
to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.

10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the
moments that take our breath away.

Happy Holidays To All

Owning and driving a Cruiser is like a little fountain of youth. It makes you feel young even if you aren't. My daily drive is a Town & Country van in which I am fairly mild mannered but the PT makes me want to drive like I'm in a sports car. Compared to the van it handles like one. No wonder it's hard to get my wife to give up the keys.

Well, being so short and light, I've tossed out a few numbers already. Age too, although not because I'm old...

Hopefully, I can take my time and age with my Cruiser for a very, very long time. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

It seems PT,S come with all ages behind the wheel.
As an example, I just purchased one and I started with my fist car
a 1929 model A Ford in 1947.Cost around $35.00 in good running shape.
Retired now and live in a retirement / active adult village.
Have seen at lest six other PTs here.
Have also a 1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer I use to run thru the sand road of the Jersey Pine Barrens and carry my kayak.
Age really does not have a lot to do with what a person injoys.
The PT has some areas of its styling that falls back on the early Ford cars to old timers.
Having a grand old time with my new play toy.
Wishing you all a very best New Year.
