Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for August 21, 2023

Broomie, I am with you❣️ :-D

It’s not my favorite thing either, but it beats the alternative.

Some people can survive on knowledge without wisdom. I think you do better with wisdom even if you lack knowledge. But it’s a killer combination.

At 1,500 years old, Broomie must have more wisdom than anyone else….. not.

Today is 4 Elul, the date of my 75th Jewish birthday! (My “legal” birthday is still a little over two weeks away,)

It’s mostly aches and pains that come with age.

If you can remember it…

Rarely.

yom huledet sameach, Karl. I’ll be 88 on Sept 5th

Hava a wonderful birthday (or two)!

Old age is when the folly of youth catches up to you. I’m not old, I’m vintage.

Have a very happy birthday! ☺️❤️

(Mine was the 19th. “80” ! )

that works for those that LIKE TO STILL LEARN!

With age comes alzheimer.

It’s true that there’s no fool like an old fool (an old person who has closed himself off to learning and growing as a person). Sadly, that can happen at any age. However, to those who choose to grow: with increasing time to explore, come new experiences. New experiences can lead to new perspectives. New perspectives can lead to new behaviors, which then bring another round of new experiences. As time proves or disproves the value of the new behaviors in increasing happiness or in predicting other outcomes, we understand better our world, and those around us. This is wisdom. Then comes the most difficult challenge: using that wisdom to help ourselves and others.

There’s a disagreement going on in my body; My body feels old but my mind feels much younger.

I would like some assurance that no cactus was harmed in the drawing of this cartoon.

Gaylord, you’re talking to a person sitting on a cactus.

He says that to someone sitting on a cactus??

Broomie may not be a good advertisement for “aging gracefully” but who else will claim her longevity?
