14 December - Friday SP: Martinis and Chocolate!

David Estall left a comment on this image of JW's with the following quote:

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body,
but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other,
body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOO HOO what a ride!'" (anon)


Now although I AM actually a 45 year old relatively sensible married mother of two children,
I did find myself thinking "yes! what a great way to go!" - that is, having lived your life
to the full and DONE those things that you always wanted to do. OK so 80% of the time we have to be sensible, but when you can.... BE SILLY, eh?! ;o)
So (within reason of course bearing in mind I am a 45-YORSMMOTC) that is how I like to live my life
- ie, don't sit around thinking "not worth doing that, it might not work" or "life is crap, no point trying to make anything better of it".
Make LIFE happen! DO those things! LIVE it now! This is IT!!

Er, sorry about that little sermon...!!

Have a GREAT weekend everyone! Cheers!! :~D

And here's some others who are having Martinis and chocolate today!

Can I have the umberella, or are you going to eat that too.
One is in the festive mood isn't one.

Amen, sister! But, I'm only 20% sensible and 80% living on the edge...learned the hard way but better late than never! Oh, what a wonderful life it is and it is what you make it to be. Everyday is a blessing so enjoy the ride, skid in sideways and eat plenty of chocolate! Only way to go!! You look absolutely festive and I love the little umbrella! Enjoy your weekend, Nicky! Cheers!!! Cool tree too!

I think you've proved that you can look great at 45, despite the chocolate and Martini. May you arrive with the tinsel too!
This looks so much fun!
