I really celebrate being 75 today. Thank you, one and all, for your happy birthday wishes. I celebrate 75 because I wasn’t overly happy about some of the occurrences in my 74th year. I really don’t want to be 74 anymore, or for that matter, ever again. I guess I won’t have to worry about that.
Here are a few words of wisdom from the pens of others that speak to me on my 75th birthday.
“And in the end, it is not the years in your life that count. It is the life in your years.” (Abraham Lincoln)
“We turn not older with years but newer every day.” (Emily Dickinson)
“Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.” (Dr. Seuss)
“Men are like wine. Some turn to vinegar, but the best improve with age.” (Pope John XXIII) I am hoping that I am the latter, improving with age—and I hope you think so too.
