Isn't it way more fun and invigorating to like your life and where you are at instead of the whole "light-sucker" approach? (FYI...I'd never heard of a light-sucker before...did you come up with that? It's brilliant!) I too am happy to hear about your new job opportunities and can certainly see why you have MUCH MORE to offer than those younger than you. It's time we all worked to make others realize that age is a benefit! I'm looking forward to your 2nd post! ~KathyKathy @ SMART Living 365.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12392736262783641661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-69345547457838945882015-06-27T18:32:46.023+08:002015-06-27T18:32:46.023+08:00I have a tee shirt with the above quote-

Sometimes we have a narrow view of ourselves or what we have to offer, and need to look at ourselves through others' eyes and see what they see. I've often said of my daughter as she has grown older, "This is my favorite age" -- hopefully, we will all be able to say that of ourselves as we grow older, too! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08878417421173080620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-78293074235903123762015-06-27T09:07:26.386+08:002015-06-27T09:07:26.386+08:00Thanks for stopping by Barbara and you're righ...Thanks for stopping by Barbara and you're right, it is a wonderful stage of life!Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623420015695351280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-17541010869870742542015-06-27T09:06:55.147+08:002015-06-27T09:06:55.147+08:00I agree Debbie - sometimes we think that getting o...I agree Debbie - sometimes we think that getting older means getting duller but I like the idea of shining :)Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623420015695351280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-712094358924462482015-06-27T09:06:15.068+08:002015-06-27T09:06:15.068+08:00Just in time for the weekend Diane :) A little bit...Just in time for the weekend Diane :) A little bit of wahtuzi-ing??Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623420015695351280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-12517689170621698892015-06-27T09:05:44.004+08:002015-06-27T09:05:44.004+08:00Thanks Carol - I'm impressed that you reinvent...Thanks Carol - I'm impressed that you reinvented yourself at 65 when I'm challenged by doing it at 53.
