On Aging

I got this funny photo from Martha's blog at Plowing Through Life:



And the photo is Springlike too, isn't it?

On the topic of animals, my sister down the road has a beautiful cat.  Although I'm not really a cat or animal person, I enjoy saying hello to this pretty cat whenever I am over there to see my mom.  I will pat her on the head and smile and talk to her.  So I was pleased the other day when my sister told me the cat likes me.  She will roll over and expose her tummy when she sees me and that apparently means she likes me!  I can really appreciate her intelligence and friendly qualities!

I will turn 55 in June.  I noticed new lines appearing on my face and mentioned it to a friend of similar age the other day.  She said she noticed the flesh below her eyebrows is thickening or something, just like her mother's.  We had a good laugh about this, what else could we do?

  2. Hello Christime
    The picture made me laugh - especially as I posted a blog entry earlier in the week that showed Cockatoos doing just that on the power lines near us

  5. Well Mark Twain said that "wrinkles should only indicate where smiles have been." Good way to look at it. :-)

  7. Exposing her belly to you? That is a huge score on your part. Cats will only do that with people they like, and trust.

    What could we do but laugh at the signs of aging? We all get there eventually!

    (Thanks for the mention to my blog once more!)

  10. I love the birds! So cute. Aging is not my favorite thing, but there's really not much that can be done about it...
