It's 2008? Wait, wait. Let's negotiate. What do you mean another year has passed? This train is moving way too fast. Let's get something very clear. I'm not getting any younger here! Put on the brake, throw it into reverse! This is not a race. Who wants to be first? I may have to pull the emergency switch and run this thing into a ditch If I can't get off this down hill slope. What? You say there's no hope. That's why everyone gets drunk on New Year's Eve? I give up. Pass the bottle, please. Oops, I forgot, I don't drink and it's useless to whine. So I guess I'll just stay in my seat 'Til the end of the line. Ida Werrett [This message has been edited by Marchmadness (01-01-2008 10:14 AM).] |

Dear Ida, what an enjoyable ride you have taken me on! Wow, you said it so well, the feeling of time racing yes it's there in some moments more than in others. But here we are, entrapped in the moment, the best thing we can do is flow with it ... while the skin wrinkles the soul flourishes ... isn't that a comforting thought? Wonderful job! Love and hugs.

Thank you , Margherita. I find the best way to handle aging is with humor. Hugs and Happy New Year, Ida |

I enjoyed this poem so much, Ida. It's amazing -- I am learning how fast time does file. My mother is assuring me that I don't know squat yet and tell me to just wait ... the ride gets faster. Yippe! A |
