I am forwarding this to those on my Seniors email list because it  is so well written. Please  send back. ( I did ) It's neat. Don't delete this one, you'll  laugh when you see the return message. As  I've aged, I've become kinder to myself, and less critical of  myself. I've become my own friend. I have seen too many  dear friends leave this world, too soon; before they understood the great freedom that comes with aging. Whose business  is it, if I choose to read, or play, on the computer, until 4  AM, or sleep until noon?    I will dance with myself to those  wonderful tunes of the 50, 60 &70's,  and if I, at the same  time, wish to weep over a lost love, I will. I will walk  the beach, in a swim suit that is stretched over a bulging body, and I will dive into the waves, with abandon, if I choose to, despite the pitying glances from the jet set. They, too, will  get old. I know I am sometimes forgetful. But there  again, some of life is just as well forgotten. And, I eventually  remember the important things. Sure, over the years, my  heart has been broken. How can your heart not break, when you  lose a loved one, or when a child suffers, or even when somebody's beloved pet gets hit by a car? But, broken hearts are  what give us strength, and understanding, and compassion.                     A heart never broken, is pristine, and sterile, and will never  know the joy of being imperfect. I am so blessed to have  lived long enough to have my hair turning gray (which I cover up),and to have my  youthful laughs be forever etched into deep grooves on my face.    So many have never laughed, and so many have died before their  hair could turn silver. As you get older, it is easier to  be positive. You care less about what other people think. I  don't question myself anymore. I've even earned the right to be  wrong. So, to answer your question, I like being old. It  has set me free. I like the person I have become. I am not going  to live forever, but while I am still here, I will not waste  time lamenting what could have been, or worrying about what will  be.   And I shall eat dessert every single day (if I feel like it). MAY OUR FRIENDSHIP  NEVER COME APART, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S                 STRAIGHT FROM THE  HEART! Forward this to at least 7 people,  and see what happens on your screen. You will laugh your head  off!!!!!!!!!!!
