My Birthday

An old friend

It's a couple of days past my birthday, and I have had no word or contact from my brother Michael, which for me is  strange as we have always been close, regardless of where I am in the world Michael is my rock.
Plus we are both not young men,
So I'm sure the Grand reaper has our names in his book? so we live with this.

I'm in the shower when I heard the postman on my drive, so I climbed dripping wet from the shower and sneaked quietly towards the mail door, as the mail drops through the door I grab it. it's from my brother, "thank you lord! happiness !"

I place it on the hall table and return to the shower feeling happy.
As I pass the full length mirror, I caught my reflection in it, at first "I thought who is that old boy"?
Then I noticed my body had more scars then I realised, how the hell am I still alive?
Golly when I get to the pearly gates I'm sure I will be asked, "what the hell did I do to the perfectly nice, unmarked body, I was issued with at the start of my life"?
I'm sure I will find and give a cheeky answer, before being sent away again.
So I just went back and into the shower.
I have the pleasure of reading my mail after.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving at the pearly gates, in an attractive and well preserved body.
But to slide sideways into heaven with a box of chocolates in one hand and a bottle of wine in the other hand, body thoroughly used up,and totally worn out, and screaming Wow what a ride!

so that's what happened to me today, how was your day?

Be Well.
Agman

    Happy Birthday! I agree with you. If we lived forever then the argument would be different, but considering out time on this mortal coil is relatively short I think getting all those experiences packed in is more important - and if you break a few eggs on the way that can't be helped!

    Sharon good morning, thank you for your visit, I have a wee bit of news for you? it would seem my Alice took your paper Alice to school and your paper Alice, was put on display, and I'm told everybody loved her, so don't be surprised if you have started a mini revival! in the paper dolls and I'm sure you may get some younger visitors to your web page.
    May your road be long and your babies strong, be well Agman

      Thanks Terence - I'm going back over some old posts again as I haven't had much chance to participate in blogland lately and was thrilled to see this! I'm going to have to put together some more paper doll posts again - my latest ones have been disappointingly 'adult'. I think both you and Alice will like the post I'm hoping to do next week (1st week in Oct) - I found some fairy pictures that are really special - a bit more like the topics I used to offer!

    Happy Birthday! I hope it was wonderful. So happy that you heard from your brother. :) I agree that we should enjoy life to the fullest because we never know when our time will be up. Someone once told me- when you are leaving this world you won't look back and say I wish I had less fun. So enjoy the fun times!

    Thank you for your kind words.
    It's far better to arrive late in this world than early in the next, but don't drop the chocolates?.
    Be well.

    Your blog made me smile.
    A strong bond like that is hard to find, but one to treasure.

    Thank you for making me smile (again) Agman. To slide sideways into heaven with a box of chocolates in one hand and a bottle of wine in the other sounds like the perfect way to go! I’m having those words engraved on my headstone! Off to the shower now, but I will be sure not to look into any full-length mirrors. Happy belated birthday.

    Oh Donna I'm so late tonight and I should be in bed,
    I'll have to rest my sleepy head,
    The last one into bed, has to switch our the light?
    So with that in mind I'll say good night
    Thank you, for your visit, Agman
