You Love to Talk About Rumors |
 You’re the first to admit that you’re a huge gossip. You love to speculate about people. You are always up on the latest rumors, and whether they’re true or not hardly matters. In fact, you’ve been known to start a rumor or two just to keep the conversation going. It’s all in good fun. |
Rosidah at Music of My Life and her husband are celebrating their 10th year Wedding Anniversary today. I want to wish them a very Happy Anniversary and a wonderful day with many many more years to come
This was sent by Dulce at Sweeter Poetry. Mahalo Dulce. It’s wonderful and I appreciate it.
I would never trade my amazing friends, my wonderful life, my loving family for less gray hair or a flatter belly. As I’ve aged, I’ve become kinder to myself, and less critical of myself. I’ve become my own friend. I don’t chide myself for eating that extra cookie, or for not making my bed, or for buying that silly cement gecko that I didn’t need, but looks so avante garde on my patio. I am entitled to a treat, to be messy, to be extravagant.
I have seen too many dear friends leave this world too soon; before they understood the great freedom that comes with aging.
Whose business is it if I choose to read or play on the computer until 4 AM and sleep until noon? I will dance with myself to those wonderful tunes of the 60 &70′s, and if I, at the same time, wish to weep over a lost love … I will.
I will walk the beach in a swim suit that is stretched over a bulging body, and will dive into the waves with abandon if I choose to, despite the pitying glances from the jet set.
They, too, will get old. I know I am sometimes forgetful. But there again, some of life is just as well forgotten. And I eventually remember the important things.
Sure, over the years my heart has been broken. How can your heart not break when you lose a loved one, or when a child suffers, or even when somebody’s beloved pet gets hit by a car? But broken hearts are what give us strength and understanding and compassion. A heart never broken is pristine and sterile and will never know the joy of being imperfect.
I am so blessed to have lived long enough to have my hair turning gray, and to have my youthful laughs be forever etched into deep grooves on my face. So many have never laughed, and so many have died before their hair could turn silver.
As you get older, it is easier to be positive. You care less about what other people think. I don’t question myself anymore.
I’ve even earned the right to be wrong.
So, to answer your question, I like being old. It has set me free. I like the person I have become. I am not going to live forever,
but while I am still here, I will not waste time lamenting what could have been, or worrying about what will be. And I shall eat dessert every single day(if I feel like it).
MAY OUR FRIENDSHIP NEVER COME APART ESPECIALLY WHEN IT’S STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART!
Hey, it’s only my opinion.
A Hui Hou
That’s a nice one on aging. Now I’ll head over to Dr. John’s to see more about this new thing , then over to Rosidah’s to say
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
Have a good trip!
Thank you my friend. I shall and nothing like a lot of blog hopping today LOL
Happy Anniversary, Rosidah!
I took the quiz. It is so NOT me that I’m not going to post it, but it called me a political junkie!
Atta girl. Your getting to sound exactly like my darlin’ She doesn’t like the results she just doesn’t post it LOL. Two peas in the proverbial pod.
I seem to bathe in scaevity when I go to Lost Wages Nevada!
Love the ‘aging’ post Thom…that was a great read.
You’ll be missed. Have a safe trip.
LOL…You know it’s funny everyone I always talk to always wins there. Go figure. LOL. Thank you my friend I most certainly will
That was a wonderful tribute to aging – a great read!
Have a wonderful trip (I keep saying that don’t I?!)
We broke the record for haiku again – rock ON!
WOOT…Rock on. That’s great. They are so fun to do. Thank you my friend. I will have a good trip. My Haiku is scheduled already for next week
According to the quiz I am more relational.
Happy anniversary to Rosidah!
I don’t always click on files or downloads, but I enjoyed these. The rain or water concert is on You Tube as a prelude to the song about rain in Africa:

Love the piece about aging!
Well I think that’s you. Thanks for letting my know about it being on You Tube. One thing Barbara when you download the items from my site, they’ve already been scanned for viruses so you wont have to worry about that. Thanks for doing that. I appreciate it
Love those thoughts on aging!! Have fun in Seattle!!
Thank you my friend. I intend to
You like your conversations to be deep and meaningful. You are not a big fan of small talk.
You are open to all sorts of conversation topics, especially if they are unique or interesting. You love it when a conversation takes you somewhere unexpected.
You will talk about anything, even if it’s controversial or weird. You aren’t shy about speaking your mind.
You may shock people with what you’re willing to talk about, but at least it’s more interesting than discussing the weather.

well, as you may have noticed, i don’t mind talking about the weather but as for the rest, i can’t completely disagree
thanks for the ageing stuff and enjoy your trip (withdrawal creeping in already)
Thank you my friend. I thought the weather was your best friend LOL. Don’t worry, it’s a short trip. 5 days
Mahalo
the quiz says i love to talk about relationships… hmmmmm…
have a great time in seattle!!!
LOL…well that seems better to me than gossip LOL. Thank you I will. I’m looking forward to it
i loved the bit on aging.
you’re my favorite guy in hawaii!
oh and apparently, i like to talk about relationships… i suppose its accurate
So did I. It was interesting to ready. Thanks so much for your comment.
Have a good one 
How did I end up loving to talk about Current Events when I never answered anything politics-related? Amusing anyway.
Happy anniversary to Rosidah and her husband.
The aging post is cool. I must be aging, hopefully minus the wrinkles and grey hairs, as I relate with most points in it
LOL….it has a mind of it’s own apparently. And yes it is amusing
I don’t think that Quiz has ME in it’s answer library! But for the record it says:
You Love to Talk About Current Events
You are an admitted news and political junkie. You pride yourself on knowing what’s going on in the world.
You prefer to talk with people who are equally up on current events. You think there are a lot of important things to discuss.
You get bored easily, and you prefer to always be discussing new things with your friends. You feel like it’s easy to get in a conversation rut.
You are the type most likely to bring up new and interesting topics of conversation. You always have something fascinating to talk about.
This is SO FAR from the truth about what I like to talk about – and even my behavior! I am NOT a conversation STARTER! I join in on conversations!
I’ve seen that rain concert before! It IS awesome. I’d not seen the Liberty Bell guy – HE is awesome. And the thoughts on old age could have been written BY ME! Those are my thoughts … exactly! Now I’m off to see Rosidah and wish her best on her own blog!
ROFLMAO…you and Quilly. I tell ya. LOL it’s just too funny to me. Thanks for the comment
I liked the liberty well one real well 
OH! And SAFE and HAPPY travels today! I hope you’re almost there….
Haven’t even left yet. Flight leaves at 2:40
and thank you my friend 
I love your words and they are so true.
Live and let live, but most of all ENJOY!
Hugs and safe travels!
Isn’t that the truth. Thank you my friend. I intend to
I already eat dessert everyday!
Great post!
LOL…everyone should. You too my friend
The best words on aging that I’ve seen. I’m passing them along to my best friend – she’ll love it too.
Have a wonderful trip!
LOL…I hope she enjoys.
Have a good one and I will my friend. Thank you 
I like to talk about Current Events!
LOL…who’d a thunk? LOL
I hope you have a great time in Seattle. The aging thing reminded me that my birthday is a week from Saturday. I totally forgot about it. I guess that could be a sign of aging.
LOL. Ain’t getting older grand. Or it was a reminder for me not to
forget to post about it. LOL. Thanks I will have a good time I’m sure.
Congrats on Dr. John’s new meme. I think it is very interesting and unique.
Thank you all for the wonderful Anniversary wishes and Mahalo, Thom. I love the image. It has me written all over it
Here’s my quiz result:
You Love to Talk About Relationships
You love to talk about people you know. You’re not exactly a gossip – you just think a lot about your friends and family.
You’re likely to be completely up to date on what’s going on in everyone’s life. And when someone has good news, you make sure and share it.
You also spend a fair amount of time dissecting relationships and analyzing people. You are always trying to better understand the people you’re closest to.
Of all the types, you are the most social. You have a lot of people to talk to and to talk about!
Have a splendid time offline. We sure will miss you. xoxoxo
Well my dearest sweet one the minute I saw it I knew it was you. It takes me longer to find the image than anything. I so hope you had a wonderful anniversary and I wish you many more to come. I hope your mom is doing well.
I know I will have a good time. I’m sitting at the airport now waiting to start boarding. You will really not know I’m gone. I got most everything done already.
Happy Anniversary
xoxoxo
Appropriate thoughts on aging for me, my friend. I concur. You get to an age when all of the trivial stuff just rolls off because they’re just not worth the effort.
A gossip? You? I’d have never guessed.
This is what it came up with for me. I can’t argue with it. Hope you’re having a wonderful time.
