I don't mind Mondays

Especially when one of my favourite TV programmes is back. Tonight, 7 p.m. Brenda Lee (not my cousine) is back. The Closer is on Action TV, I look forward to the coming season of cops and robbers. Roll on a new season of NCIS and (the original) CSI. Talking of which, Marleze bought a "CSI Las Vegas" t shirt for Timothy, he looks really cool.
Good things happen on Monday. If you're a glass half empty person no doubt you'll disagree but, I'm not.
An old friend hand delivered an invitation to his 70th birthday bash. I feel he's taking a bit of a chance, inviting old folk a month early, we may all forget - ha ha.
As you no doubt recall, we're not sit around and get old people so, we're really looking forward to a night out with friends who are not afraid to get on to the dance floor and party.
It's an A4 invitation, first the invite and then the following which I shall painstakingly type out as I don't have a scanner. Here it is, words to live (long) by.
How to Stay Young
Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That's why you pay them.
Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop" and the devil's name is Alzheimer's.
Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.
Enjoy the simple things.
Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.
The tears happen. Endure, grieve and move on. The only person who is with you your entire life is yourself. Be ALIVE while you are alive.
Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, friends, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.
Cherish your health. If it's good preserve it. If it's unstable, improve it. If it's beyond what you can improve, get help.
Don't take guilt trips.
Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

Let's party!!
