The stories of my life on a little island in the middle of the Mediterranean sea ... and my occasional adventures beyond these shores.

Break The Rules

Cornwall 106-001
I found this quote at We Heart It. I am not sure who said it but I do believe it to be true.
With my birthday coming up on Monday, I do find the inexorable  marching feet of Time to be depressing at times. Life passes by before we even have the time to catch our breath. We could all sit in a corner and decide to mope about it. Or we can perceive each day as a new adventure; break a little rule every day; be a little bit outrageous. It doesn’t take much. I admire older people who are cheerful and who flaunt convention just a little bit – like Armande and her red petticoats in Chocolat. So do something memorable each day and, above all, love truly. And laugh, laugh uncontrollably – at life, at the world, at yourself. Wishing you all a weekend of broken rules; be eccentric and do something totally unexpected … Now if only I would follow my own advice …

    Hello Loree:
    Carpe Diem - this really does have to be the order of not just one day, but everyday.

    Kellemes hétvégét.

    Happy Birthday! Remember, we don't stop laughing because we get old; we get old because we stop laughing. So, enjoy!

    I don't know if life is short, if I live like my grandma in good health until 95, I would be rather happy ! Anyway since I am retired I enjoy life very much ! I have no worries anymore and can do what I want with my time, that's good too !

    I do understand about birthdays. I don't get excited anymore but I am thankful that I have lived another year. Thanks. I will do something memorable. I think I'll do a road trip with hubby and kids. June is warm and the flowers will be in full bloom. Very reflective post!
