The aging process has you firmly in its grasp, if you never get the urge to swing on a swing. ~ Lori DiNardi
Me on the swing almost one year ago.
Last year on this date, I posted a similar quote as above by someone else. This year I took the liberty of changing it up a bit.
I posted several other quotes about age last year, too. This year, I’ve come up with a few of my own in hopes to remind myself to be grateful and possibly lift the spirits of others as well.
Don’t think of it as another year older. Think of it as being blessed to have had another year to experience the great diversity and wonderment of the world through life, love and laughter. ~ Lori DiNardi

Happy belated birthday! And I love your quote. 🙂 There’s definitely a difference between “getting older” and “getting old.” The first I can handle. I don’t want the second!

So true, JM. I don’t want to be the second either. Thanks for the birthday wishes and for reading about my ride on the carousel.

A little late, but hope you had a great birthday Lori. I haven’t been on a swing lately but last night I was sprawled on a dancefloor doing a dance I hadn’t done since I was a teenager!

I haven’t been on a swing in a LONG time! And there are swings right behind the school…so you may have inspired me to get on one this week. Thank you!

Go for it, Kathy. I hope you’ll come back next week when I post what else I did to keep the aging process from catching me in its grasp. 🙂

Heh. I’ll remind myself of celebrating on this side of the grass today. I just got home from riding on a merry-go-round. Trying to do things I enjoy still, even at this ripe age. 🙂 Have a great weekend, Anneli.

I don’t get the urge to swing, but I do get the urge to go on a roller coaster. That counts, doesn’t it? Nice quotes. 🙂

Last year’s quote said “…if you never get the urge to throw a snowball.” I happen to like swings, and it doesn’t snow where I live. 😛 But, yes, I think roller coasters count. Have a great weekend and maybe try a roller coaster. I just went on a merry-go-round today. 🙂
