"8" HNT

This week's picture may not make sense to many of you (if any), but it's by request. I won't go into details here, but I'll write about it on Friday. But it's got to do something with keeping your life in focus...

It is not how old you are, but how you are old. ~ Marie Dressler ~

The age of a woman doesn't mean a thing. The best tunes are played on the oldest fiddles. ~ Sigmund Z. Engel

One of the many things nobody ever tells you about middle age is that it's such a nice change from being young. ~ Dorothy Canfield Fisher ~

You're only young once, but you can be immature forever. ~ John Greier ~

Forty is the old age of youth, fifty is the youth of old age. ~ Victor Hugo ~

The aging process has you firmly in its grasp if you never get the urge to throw a snowball. ~ Doug Larson ~

Live your life and forget your age. ~ Norman Vincent Peale ~

The man who views the world at fifty the same as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life. ~ Muhammad Ali ~

It's important to have a twinkle in your wrinkle. ~ Author Unknown ~

The process of maturing is an art to be learned, an effort to be sustained. By the age of fifty you have made yourself what you are, and if it is good, it is better than your youth. ~ Marya Mannes, More in Anger, 1958 ~

Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional. ~ Chili Davis ~

This week's Mystery Guest/birthday girl will be revealed late Thursday afternoon.
My apologies for not getting around to reveal the MG earlier...work/symphony caught me off-guard. Of course, the MG is Evening. Her blog is private, but you could probably leave a comment here requesting an invite. I'm sure she'd see it! Happy Birthday, young lady!
