Today's thought..............When I get old I'm not going to be sitting around knitting. I'm going to be clicking my Life Alert button to see how many hot fire fighters show up!!!!!

Have you ever thought about what you want to be like when you getting older. People around me think they know what I'll be like. Years ago a friend of mine decided that she'd like to be in the same seniors residence as me. She mentioned this to her husband who promptly said, we'll have to attach a bungee cord to her rocking chair so when she's talking too much or too crazy we can put her out the window for a bit. Another time I mentioned to a co worker that I wasn't sure when I would stop dyeing my hair and let myself go grey. She said I would never do this but I would have bright colours in my hair until I die because that is just who I am.
All I know is I want to keep having as much fun as I am now. I don't want to sit and feel sorry for myself. I want to be a fun grandma...getting down on the floor and playing could be an issue but by crackey I want to be remember for having fun and laughing with them. Maybe I'll change my signature from laughingorangelady to laughinggrandma!!!!
Start preparing now.....Make sure you are keeping yourself in good health by eating well and exercising and stretching so that you can do the things you want to do. Decide you are going to just keep getting more kind, funny, loving, helpful etc. You need to have a purpose. I'm making my purpose, as it is now, to make sure I make someone laugh everyday. I want people to miss me because I was so darn fun to be with!!!!!
Don't wait though. As we know we never know how long we have so don't wait to start having a good time....start today and never stop!!!!!
