Words to live by for sure!  Very nice Lanie.  Hey, I do lots of those things yo mentioned already...maybe I'll add a few more.

Here's another thought:

People on thier death bed never say, " Gee I wish I would have spent more time working...."
But rather, " I wish I would have spent more time with the ones I love".

Lets do it now!

What a wonderful sentiment Lanie!  I'm printing that out!  I LOVE it!!!!!!  Now I'm off to run naked through the lawn sprinkler!!!!  Oh wait... maybe not.... What I DON'T have is that child like complete inhibition!  Good think too... I'm sure that the neighbors would NOT be pleased with me!   Really though... there is so much we can learn about enjoying life from the young ones!

Words to live by for sure!

FOR SURE!!

Life is too short. Sure, we all have pain, stress and issues we have to deal with but they don't have to rule our lives unless we let them. Every moment spent in joy makes us feel younger, live longer and be healthier. Plus, when we are joyful it spreads a little joy to those around us.

Hurray for The Society Of Childlike Grownups!!!   I've always thought being a grown-up was way over-rated anyway.

Just a fleeting visit.
I hear you all.

Judi thats so very true GOOD ONE....

KIM I CANT STOP LAUGHING
CAN YOU JUST IMAGINE WOULDENT IT BE JUST GREAT. :clap:
HA HA HA HA I COULD TELL A TALE OR TWO :redface:

I just hate the words 'why dont you grow up'

Ive had them said to me many times...

I NOW JUST THROW THE REPLY 'WHY'!

BEING GROWN UP IS NO WAY AS  SPECIAL AS CHILD HOOD SHOULD BE
LIFES AS A GROWN UP IS FULL OF RESPONSIBILITY STRESS AND WORRY.
AS KIDS CHILDHOOD SHOULD BE FULL OF FUN LEARNING & SELF EXPRESSION.

ENCOURGE KIDS TO BE KIDS 
LET US ADULTS WHO WANT TO BE DAFT HAVE OUR FUN TOO.

YEAH I THINK IM A MEMBER!
