As Young As






Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. 
We grow old by deserting our ideals.....
You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; 
as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; 
as young as your hope, as old as your despair.
                                            Samuel Ullman



So many of you left wonderfully encouraging comments regarding my Mother's wedding, thank you. Maybe the newly married couple really are younger than their 72 and 84 years would suggest.    :)

  4. Wspaniałe słowa Samuela Ullman, tak się właśnie powinno żyć. Mak jest tego dowodem, jest młody, ale wygląda jak stary pomarszczony. Pozdrawiam.
    Great words of Samuel Ullman, so it should live. Mak is proof of that, he is young, but it looks like an old wrinkled. Yours.
