When I was young I thought somebody who was forty or fifty years old was very old.

Today I am seventy, to me it is only a number, I still think with the same brain, maybe wiser.

The body that house my soul does start deteriorating.

I just want to tell the girls out there don't let age take your spirit from you forget about the number.

If your same age friends want to wait for death let them, you go out and have some fun.

There will be friends who would love to go to the cinema or for a nice outing to a tea garden where you can sit and

enjoy the day.

This weekend friends of my husband and I invited us for a visit on their farm. They are about ten years

younger than us.

Early the next morning while having coffee Louise said that we are going for a game drive.

As we walked outside I looked at the two quad bikes standing next to the patio, the one red and the one blue. It was quite a few years back when I last drove a quad bike, I held my pose and after she showed me how to start the bike, I followed her down the road. We spend about an hour driving, it was wonderful, giraffe zebra and other wild staring at us as we passed them.

To keep the body fit also keep the mind going, I do my exercises every morning except weekends. It is very essential to do exercises no matter how little, do what works the best for you.

Keep the mind going by making something with your hands. I am blessed to be able to do my art for curio shops.

The one thing that I have seen happen to some of my friends is that they think when they are "pensioners"

We all have stories to tell, take a pen and paper and write, anybody can write, even if it is for your eyes only. To connect with your soul by writing how you feel is therapy.

There was an article in the paper this week about a lady who dreamed to parachute jump on her 80th birthday, I looked at the photo of her smiling face with the parachute steering her down to the ground. We can still follow a dream no matter what. To keep sanity there is only one way: to communicate with your Creator no matter what you call him, mine is called God. My Angels also form an essential part of my life, remember every living soul want to belong.
