Merriam Webster Says
‘aging’ is : ‘the period contemporary with a person’s lifetime or with his or her active life b: along time- usually used in plural <haven’t seen him in ages>: an individual’s development measured in terms of the years requisite for like development of an average individual’.
I especially like the ‘along time’ insertion. Let it be so. ‘The period contemporary with a person’s lifetime’. What does that mean?
For Me
‘aging’ is not so much about the passing of years. Aging is a state of mind and body. I believe our minds and bodies are continually fighting off the pollution in the world. This battle is what causes aging. Our ability to find purity in the world is difficult. Some of us just give up. It’s kind of like the smoker using the excuse to smoke, saying, “I’m going to die of something, might as well be something I like”.
‘Move It or Lose It’
It’s true. Energy begets energy. Positive choices beget positive results. There is no easy or instant path to longevity. Even when we make the right choices, it’s difficult; the balance of the world has shifted and much of our innate power as well; how can we slow the wrinkling process, remain taught, yet flexable?
NEVER NEVER NEVER GIVE UP!
I’d like this opportunity to introduce you to ‘sillygolucky’, the winner of the Bodacious Blog and Totally Useful Blogger awards. A trail I know you’ll want to travel. In addition, ’sillygolucky’ has just won the ‘2007 never never never give up’ award! This is an exciting time for ‘sillygolucky‘ and each of us traveling the internet trails! Link up. Live long and learn. Prosperity is only a click away!
I will never, never, never, give up: Making positive choices; hiking, eating organic, burning as little fuel as possible, laughing and living with passion.
Happy and long trails!

hi there, gail!! thank you SO MUCH for this award
i very much appreciate you thinking such kind things about me. i love this blog and am thankful for all the thought you guys put into your posts!!
Josey, I may have goofed on the ‘award’ thing. I made the ‘award’ up! If there isn’t a ‘never never never give up award’, there should be! I don’t know who is in charge of creating and making the graphics for awards, maybe you do.
The award stands for stamina, being able to pick yourself up and keep on going despite all the obstacles we are faced with in this world! To me, by virtue of all that you do, you should have such an award!
