There comes a point in your life when you realize:
Who matters,
Who never did,
Who won't anymore...
And who always will.
So, don't worry about people from your past,
There's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.
Give these flowers to everyone you don't want to lose in 2009,
Be kinder than necessary
because everyone you meet is fighting
some kind of battle.

Great post! Thanks. I love irises - they're our state flower.
My grandchildren call me Grammy, too. :-)
Sylvia, I like your post! The magnificent flower and the beautiful text. I like to copy that and store it somewhere, if you don't mind. It's so true.
yes oh yes, what true words. gorgeous, i love the fact that 'wisdom' hits us after 60...actually i love being 60 too.
Wise words.
It would be nice to see 60 again...at 73. But, yes, the words were very appropriate.
great thoughts, lovely flowers...
Those flowers are just beautiful. They make me think of spring and I am surely ready for it. This post is so true. We should not have regrets.
Purple Iris---neat post. MB

Great post and so very true!

Beautiful Iris's and beautiful text. Thank you, Sylvia.
Words of wisdom most welcome - I'm grateful for the irises too!
This post really struck home, Sylvia and helped me make a few decisions. The irises are gorgeous!
I'll be 50 in September this year, I
m almost there;)
Sylvia;
Your words hit home with me too..sometimes we forget what's really important!
Great advice. I will be 60 in June...any words of wisdom?
I read these words before, either from you or some other source of wisdom - to be kind because everyone is fighting some kind of battle. That was an eye opener for me, and a reminder of what I learned while working as a literacy coach with teachers -we all have fears, and fear is the number one reason for not wanting to change. It takes support to overcome fears, not edicts.
Linda,
A friend sent this to me and I had read it before, too, but thought it was well worth posting as a reminder that I knew I could use and hoped someone else might find it helpful.
Hey Sylvia - cuddles and hugs mate!
