Chello friends - another weekend day filled with drizzling, soggy rain!  What the heck!  No boat, no beach, no lounging on the dock catching the rays.... by rays I mean of SUN - you remember the SUN don't ya?  The boat sits idle in the bay waiting, yearning to be uncovered and run full bore over the waves of the Sacandaga.....But no - there it sits.  Another week or so and it will be sitting in the back yard on grass - not moving for a year.  So what do we do - what can we say.... sure we don't  like it but the weather is like your age - no sense getting upset about it - you cannot change it so instead embrace it - the weather, have  a parte' that is what we are doing tonight, food, fun, games.  But the age thing - runs a little more deep than the weather forecast.  I know there are the days you wake up with a few more creaks in your back, or the nights you hit the hay a little bit earlier knowing you have to get up and go to work the next day.  Remember the days - carefree - we didn't care if we went to work tired, or really even cared if we went at all, but now being the responsible adults we are now, we tend not to blow off a day of work for a concert at SPAC.  Yeah, I saw the wrinkles this morning too - still having faith in the $70 eye cream working wonders by the time I get dressed and head down stairs... I have not lost my optimism!  But as I look closer to those little lines that form in certain area.... around the eyes - I notice them more when I smile - huh? Imagine that...when I am happy my lines show up more, huh!?  It hits.... these lines were created by the happy, not the sad, by the smiles and not the frowns - here they come again those lines.....wow, I must have smiled alot, been happy alot to have this landscape around my eyes.  As I look even closer - they are around my mouth as well.   Consistant with the happy and the smiling I think.  So, as I look for one last time - my eyes seemed to sparkle as I looked at each of those lines differently... these are my good times, my laughs, my memories - My Life! I may not say goodbye to the eye cream just yet, but I will hope that with each line it fades - new ones will come to replace them.  Well with that said - go enjoy your wrinkles and many happy wrinkles in the future!
