Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.

The dogs look young and so do you. Have a grand birthday.
What a perfectly wonderful birthday sentiment you've posted. Youthful spirits in the dogs galavanting... and what a gorgeous estate! Happy Birthday Neva.
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! I cannot believe you FINALLY posted and I MISSED IT!!!!! BWAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!
Kick me, KICK ME NOW!
*sigh* In my defense, I DID get crippled with blah migraines... is that ok then? Oh how this wrinkleth my soul I tell you... IT WRINKLETH IT AWAY!!!!
;-P
I kid and yet not...
What a beautiful quote and how very true! Aging is such an odd thing, a total mind screw on so many levels... I became aware of time and age after I had Lil' BoheMia... for some reason having a brand new life in my care put it all in a finite, as far as the body goes, perspective... now, at 32, I see others my age that live and act as though they were SO OLD and I still feel like a geeky teen in so many ways, SO not a woman... other days, 90 is where I dwell... so subjective and all in the mind... now if only the damn body would listen and adjust to our mental state! Early twenties would be my constant state of mind then I tell you! He, he, heee!
And now back to reality we go!
As for YOUR soul? Breathtakingly beautiful I tell you... breathtakingly beautiful...

Happy Birthday! I stopped by yesterday, but I guess it was too early and there was no new post. Not a wrinkle to be seen on that soul of yours.

So true. On the other hand, consistency is a hobgoblin of old fogeys.
A belated happy birthday (again).
