Day63 - 05182020

Took out the baby plants for the free rainwater.
It was raining today and I get all the containers in hand to fill them up with the rain water for watering usage later.

Made a naught/nutty (pecan) chocolate cake. 


I think that I probably need to buy a beekeeper suit. I had mosquito bites all over, so itchy, terrible!

Reminisce when I was little in Taiwan it rains a lot. And we always put out container to save the rain water for flushing toilet and such.
We also took the buckets of water outside in the sunny days, we get to have the warmed water for bathing. So miss the old days.

When you were young, you are full of energy, radiant hair, glowing skin and you never thought about old.
Found some really inspiring quotes.
https://landmarkseniorliving.com/101-timeless-quotes-about-aging/
“When we age we shed many skins: ego, arrogance, dominance, pessimism, rudeness, selfish, uncaring … Wow, it’s good to be old!” – Stephen Richards
“Combine nursing homes with nursery schools. Bring very old and very young together: they interest one another.” – John Cage
“There is a fountain of youth: It is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age” – Sophia Loren
“Aging is not ‘lost youth’ but a new stage of opportunity and strength.” Betty Friedan
“I have made a rule about such things, which I commend to you, young man: As soon as you feel too old to do a thing, DO IT.” – Margaret Deland
“You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear, as young as your hope, as old as your despair.” – Samuel Ullman 
“Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.” – Henry Ford 
“Today is the oldest you’ve ever been, and the youngest you’ll ever be again.” – Eleanor Roosevelt
"Beauty is important to us. Whilst young, we chase it relentlessly and take our own for granted. By the time our physical looks inevitably fade, we finally begin to understand that beauty comes from within, not from what we see in the mirror. Enjoy these quotes about the symbiotic relationship between age and the appreciation for true beauty."
"We spend half our lives ignoring its existence, and the second half agonizing over its arrival. Much like beauty, it takes time for us to fully understand the depth and meaning of death. We shouldn’t be afraid of the end, but rather joyful about the short time we are permitted to be on earth, and to share love with those around us who also get to experience it."
“Laughter is timeless, imagination has no age, and dreams are forever.” – Walt Disney
“At age 20, we worry about what others think of us. At age 40, we don’t care what they think of us. At age 60, we discover they haven’t been thinking of us at all.” – Ann Landers
“You’re never too old to set another goal or dream a new dream.” – C.S. Lewis
