granny muses

When I think of our relationship (I met my current husband when I- 70 year old- had a massive crush on a 72 year old guy and wesoon married) I think of a passage I once read:

I must conquer my loneliness alone.
I must be happy with myself, or I have nothing to offer.
Two halves have little choice but to join;
And yes, they do make a whole.
But two wholes when they coincide …
That is beauty. That is love.

I believe that all success begins with spreading your WINGS:

W- Believe in your worth
I- Trust your insight
N-nurture yourself
G- Have a goal
S- Devise a personal strategy

….and then even impossible dreams become real

Most of all other beautiful things in life

come by twos and threes,

by dozens and hundreds.

Plenty of roses, stars, sunsets, rainbows,

brothers and sisters, aunts and cousins,

but only one mother in the whole world.
-Kate Douglas Wiggin

Age does not protect you from love.
But love, to some extent, protects you from age.
-Jeanne Moreau.

have the best of everything;

they just make the best of

everything they have.

Good Friends must not always be together,

it’s the feeling of oneness when distant,

that proves a lasting Friendship.

Love is the emblem of eternity;

it confounds all notion of eternity.

It is true that antiques have to be treated

a bit differently,

with a little care,

but they still have a beauty,

all their own.
