Dance music for you in the attachment!<\/p>\n

My dear<\/p>\n

Thanks for your affectionate email personal visit card phone call greetings on my birthday!<\/p>\n

Sharing some of my birthday reflections with you…<\/p>\n

It is nice and wonderful to be young right? Young people are full of so many things, life is full of promise….\u00a0and one can look up ahead and beyond and do so much…<\/p>\n

If I was not TerryQ I might even have envied young people… but I do not…<\/p>\n

A lot of people get worried about aging….<\/p>\n

and to be young (in body or in spirit!!) is considered a blessing.<\/p>\n

It really is, and I shall not question that….<\/p>\n

But the fact is… I enjoy being old…. or appropriate to the age I actually am.<\/p>\n

For me old age is not a sickness or a handicap.<\/p>\n

It is also a blessing, really…. and if I still can do things that others do not expect me to do because of my “old age”\u00a0then I simply tell them that I am redefining “old”!!<\/p>\n

It is not that I cannot do a lot of things I used to do when I was younger.<\/p>\n

I\u00a0still \u00a0do them.. though I might be doing them differently!!!<\/p>\n

The things I continue to do now\u00a0are not because I am “young in spirit”\u00a0 or ” young at heart”.<\/p>\n

I do these things because I AM OLD…. AND IT IS A WONDERFUL WAY TO BE TOO!!!<\/p>\n

Just now I am\u00a072\u00a0\u00a0going on 80 !\u00a0 And how!!<\/p>\n

A reasonably long life upto now. And I have learned so much along the way…<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

So turn up the music. I shall dress up for the occasion and show the world what I can still do. And if you wish to compete\u00a0with me, welcome!<\/p>\n

What more can I say or do?<\/p>\n

Can you imagine what it is going to be like for me in 2025 ? ( I shall be 80 then!)<\/p>\n

YYYaaaaayyyyy !<\/p>\n

At least I am saying that now. Hopefully I shall be able to say it loud and clear then too !<\/p>\n

Take care\u2026 stay well\u2026 turn on the music in your life and dance!<\/p>\n

Love, Terry<\/td>\n
