GO! Smell the flowers over at Elaine’s place…

August 3rd, 2007 by Jim
We found this inspiring quote over at the blog Elaine’s place, a great from the heart blog that looks at ‘bits of life through these blue eyes’ :  

‘Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.’  - Samuel Ullman

Great quote, but I don’t agree that you grow old by deserting our ideals.

I do agree however, that that to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.

Oh God, that’s a scary picture. Isn’t there a law against self-cannibalism?

I have known people who have tried to ‘eat’ others - The Midlands, UK can be very rough at times.

A guy I worked with in Somerset had the top of his ear bitten off in a brawl in the quaint town of Bath. They never recovered it. Might have been someone on holiday from Dudley.
