How is life at 44? ermm sooner or later, God willing, you will be there too...and I can't wait to be in the next big Five "O", six years from now. Somewhat an anticipation huh? Try listen to what Agatha Christine has to say about reaching the age of 50, "I have enjoyed greatly the second blooming that comes when you finish the life of the emotions and of personal relations; and suddenly find - at the age of fifty, say - that a whole new life has opened before you, filled with things you can think about, study, or read about...It is as if a fresh sap of ideas and thoughts was rising in you".
For me, age is just a number as what was rightly said by William Wordworth, "The mind that is wise mourns less for what age takes away; than what it leaves behind." What do you achieved in that year is the most important...The most remembered woman, the late Lady Diana Cooper had this to say.."First you are young; then you are middle-aged; then you are old; then you are wonderful."... how extraordinary her words had been, even so coming from someone who did not even experience old age. Hemmm...
At this age, I must confess I begin to take my love life a little step further, as broad as it may sound but it has become as deep as it can be. I honestly believe in what Jeanne Moreou words on this subject. "Age does not protect you from love, but love to some extent protects you from age". True to the words, love does not understand the meaning of age...
To fully stress my point on what life must be in relation to age, derived from the words of this one great man. "And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years."- Abraham Lincoln
I want to die young at a ripe old age.

happy burstday, dear!!
"I want to die young at a ripe old age." hmmm...
Being young contradicts with being contented and peaceful. Young.. youth, the flames burns bright and if uncontrolled, can burn yourself... as i have been through so many times before, as i believe you might have gone through the same...
to me..
"i want to die old" given that i live to an old age, i want to be contented, i want to be at peace.... but i think that we all want this too...
"I have enjoyed greatly the second blooming that comes when you finish the life of the emotions and of personal relations; and suddenly find - at the age of fifty, say - that a whole new life has opened before you, filled with things you can think about, study, or read about...It is as if a fresh sap of ideas and thoughts was rising in you".
My dad when he reached 50, it was like he was possessed. All he does is read and think. But given his nature as i understand it so well, is that he is a humble human being in love with nothing else but knowledge and God. Hmm..
i wonder how will i be when i reach my 40s and 50s....
Wallahu'alam.
