My Birthday Aphorisms


Turning 70 years old today, October 13, so I will rundown on Richard Gere's quotes, that give great impact in my life and yours too, as Seniors. So here goes:

"None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself an after thought."
I feel despite my senior age of 70, is more that can be done, nothing stops one from doing the things still possible. Of course, is the thought that one may not be as capable anymore, but what is important one tried without regrets.

"I got lot of opportunities, a lot of love in my life, a lot of things going on for me. Still, it's not complete.I know this is not the whole thing. 's much more."
At 70, what is more to_ be living about, this I ask myself. Oh life can be short-lived from now on, so the best of_ my thought is to_ establish a good reconciliation with my Creator. This love for HIM, should now come paramount. Being thankful for the years, I am bestowed with and will still be bestowed with, should be my constant prayer. Live beyond 70 is such a great bonus.

"No matter how much advice they give you, are lessons you can learn from falls and hits.
So true, one learns more from failures and losses, the drive one_ keeps doing will always be done_ at any age but when one reaches 70, you will Have_the time most_ to_ recollect and reminisce what went wrong, so from there_ , you_ can_ assess where you stand. Accepting what I am now and what I have_ is enough for me to_ seek life as meaningful.

"The drive for happines is what is viital, it keeps us in motion."
Whatever we still goal for or think more of_ ambition to_ strive for, is the drive to_ find happiness in whatever we do. This drive keeps us alive, not the goal or ambition we still look_ forward to_ . The success is largely aimed as well in giving us the bliss that we did everything_ right_.

"I am old but am forever at heart. We are always thesame age inside.Know that you are the perfect age. Each year is special and precious, you can live once. Do not regret growing older, 's a privilege denied many."
This is the most widely known words of Richard Gere, which to_ my belief should be imbedded in any senior's mind. A senior_grows old anyway? It's_ just_ numbers that you can count every year. You are old_ as how you feel, no one can and will refute that, unless the person is your enemy. But, that_ is true. With a young_ at heart feeling, you will never grow old. I like to_ say I will feel forever young_ because it_ is how I want be. Though my knees go creaking or getting wobbly, my skin wrinkled and crepey, what do I care what people will tell about me. I am still

Let me add my own quote:
"Wherever you go, whatever situation you are in, or whoever you are with, for a senior to_ feel loved and cared for, his immediate family will always have_ that first privilege."

Nothing will stop us from doing anything, even at senior years. Do you feel the same?

Thanks Elz! I seldom celebrate my birthday with a blast. When I turned 65, the children and grandchildren took over in preparing for the celebration, including its expenses. So I had this intense desire to celebrate my 70th birthday in Manila, knowing it will be a grand activity. And thanks to the One above, who I have prayed and asked that I do, gave it an answered prayer. Thanks again for the well-wishes and greet!!

Philippine authorities have reducaed quarantine period to 5 days, which should be great news for you..you can schedule your vacation sooner. It has become less prescriptive these days here, with health protocols but must still be observed for precautionary measures. Don't worry if you have a strong immunity with complete vaccine, it's not gonna be a problem re covid. The news just bloats or exaggerates its press release here, you know why am sure..it's a great source of money!
