Every year that passes it always hits me.. " I have never been this old before, I wish someone would have told me about_______"

What would you tell the younger folks about being in your 80's????

Went back to search in old DU, and found the post I was looking for. It was in "Fiction," the place I know you from...
(2 prepositions ending 2 thoughts, that's okay, aint't it?)

About you going to the bookstore and wishing you could have your ashes placed in a library or bookstore...

I thought that was lovely.

In searching, I saw other of your posts and am amazed that I never thought you were even close to 70, much less 80. I took you for about 50...

love

Actually, i find it hard to believe that i'm as old as i am, too.
Time does go by quickly. Maybe it's the forty years i spent working
with kids that has helped keep me "thinking young"....z
