Hi Bill and Joan,
congratulations on your anniversaries. Wow 41 years Bill.
You were really injured at a young age also.
Sorry this is late, I hope you both celebrated the success of living.
Thank you for sharing.
Dana

You should've started earlier, Joan. LOL I started this "journey" 41
years ago. I'm now 59. I come from long-lived people. My great-great
grandfather lived to be 92, my great grandfather lived to be 96, my
grandfather
lived to 98. My dad died at 70 because he smoked 3 packs a day. My mom
lived to 93. Looks like I may have another 30-35 years here.

Live your life in such a way that when your feet hit the floor
in the morning, Satan says, "Oh shit! He's awake!"

Subject: [QUAD-L] 19 years
Tomorrow will be 19 years, just where did the time go? I am now 70 ½-that
can’t be true either. JIf I had a choice would I do it over again? Most
emphatically yes. I have three grandchildren I would not have seen
otherwise, one great granddaughter, a great granddaughter due in December, and
a
granddaughter due in January.
What more can a grandma ask for?
I am not looking forward to some of the things that lie in the
future-probably more skin problems because of thinning skin-worse hearing that
I have
now-right now my Some Timers Disease is OK, but maybe it will get worse and
I suppose I could find a bunch more.
I Am looking forward to some of the things that live in the future-new
grandchildren and great grandchildren, watching the others grow up and tackle
life as best they can, finishing my garden (probably not), enjoying the
greenhouse and fresh tomatoes in winter, staying involved in youth activities
(I love to see how children get comfortable with me in the wheelchair and
only think of me as a lady who uses a wheelchair to get around rather than a
disabled person), maybe writing a book-don’t know who would read it but I
might enjoy writing it-, helping friends and family landscape their
houses-I get the fun part, designing it, they get the fun part of doing
it-continue taking a couple of college courses that interest me. OK, I guess
I get
it. My list as much longer for things I want to do than it is for things I’
m afraid of. So I will continue on my merry way-probably not for another
19 years although my mother lived until 91 after suffering a major stroke 19
years before, so who knows what is my lifeline to be.
Glad I have this list to belong to-it is good to share with others in the
same boat.
Joan
