Growing Old Too Quickly

TO BE ASTONISHED IS ONE OF THE SUREST
WAYS OF NOT GROWING OLD TOO QUICKLY.

~Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette

Of Note: Delight and surprise may be two of the oldest anti-aging antidotes known to man. Cynicism, which permeates the world, produces the opposite. So what shall it be? Delight and surprise, yes, even astonishment or cynicism, skepticism and doubt?

Today's Weather Report: Rain was predicted for the day, but the closest we got was humidity in the upper 90%'s. So we were dripping while standing still. Without air conditioning, the situation is almost unbearable. No one moved very far today, not even the dogs. With long hair, they were particularly miserable. Out East, temps are triple digit until Friday. Thus, we have little about which to complain. Maybe some delight and surprise would help.
