Use it or lose it!

I agree

At 61, I just got the "ingredients" together to build a 50 story colorful hotel from my vast Lego brick collection.

So as soon as I get the crane up!

I'm a non-union construction worker, and I'll build it all myself! No union members to picket the site!

You mean we don't have to age, grow old, die? Why has no one told all the people dying of old age all these centuries?

The other side of the coin is:
The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.

I let my inner child loose whenever possible. Don't tell anybody but I have a coloring book stash.

It's very relaxing!

We do not stop playing because we are old. We grow old because we stop playing.

So true. Never stop living, laughing, giving, learning, dancing, singing, and playing. Love this proverb, Tij. Thanks.

Yeah but maybe if we played a little more we'd be in better shape. Hey it's recess time. Let's play dodge ball, jump rope, hopscotch. I still love playing on swings and seesaws

Yes, I was being a tad too literal. Just to.
