A few thoughts on growing older gracefully.
“One’s age should be tranquil as childhood should be playful. Hard work at either extremity of life seems out of place. At mid day the sun may burn, and men labor under it, but the morning and evening should be alike calm and cheerful.” Matthew Arnold
“A man is not old as long as he is seeking something.” Jean Rostand
“Age does not depend upon years, but upon temperament and health. Some men are born old, and some never grow so.” Tryon Edwards
“Cautious age suspects the flattering form, and only credits what experience tells.” Samuel Johnson
“When a woman tells you her age, it’s all right to look surprised, but don’t scowl.” Wilson Mizner
PWBPeeps is a group that posts a daily diary and nightly open thread for animal lovers. We share photos, seek & give advice about pet health and behavior issues, support each other in times of sadness and stress, celebrate together when times are good, and on most days have an inordinate amount of fun.
You are welcome to join us!
Here are few not-too-onerous PWB rules
- Do not “Troll” the Pootie Peeps Diaries. If you don’t like animal diaries, there’s no need to tell us about it. Just go find some other diary more to your liking.
- Whatever happens in the outer blog STAYS in the outer blog. This is a place to relax and play; please treat it accordingly.
- If you would like a pic from the comment threads, please ask the poster. He/she may have a copyright to those pics. Many thanks!
- There are some pics we never post: snakes, creepy crawlies, any and all photos that depict or encourage human cruelty toward animals. These are considered “out of bounds” and will not be tolerated.
- If you’re not sure about an issue...please ask. Someone is always glad to help.
This is an open thread.
