Living like Benjamin Button
I love life, I really, really do and that is one of the reasons why I became a part of WA. Rather than spending the best years of my life confined to an unfulfilling job and workplace, I want to be free to live and enjoy the things the truly matter in life. So I came here in the hope of making a living online, so that I'd be free to live.
The thought of living life backwards, going from old to young is so intriguing. Instead of living a life that gradually deteriorates, it would be rather exciting to live a life that gradually gets better with the passing of time, quite like fine wine. I resolve that living backwards is not possible, but I see no harm in fantasising once in a while.
I discovered the quote below and really appreciated it. It was written by Woody Allen, whom I am not promoting here, I am merely sharing an interesting piece that he wrote. I don't agree with every single thing in this article but for the most part, I'd say, living backwards sounds out of this world (no pun intended).

I totally love this and would love to do it. However, since I am bound to continue moving up in age rather than down, I'll just live in the spirit of your quote, doing all I can to ensure that life keeps getting better and better. One of these days I'll be a fine, old wine (hopefully red wine).
I am somewhat rested, though I am not sure of the connection between rest and this blog.
It was Carla. It's the type of movie feel like watching several times (though I've only watched it once).

Mustard Seed - I understand, however, these are the best days of my life. Had you asked me years ago, I probably would have said the same thing. You see, for some people, life gets better and better because it builds on the experiences of yesterday.
As a quote from Jimmy Dean, "I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination." The challenge and the true fun of life is developing strategies as you go forward. What a pity it would be to not have that task in this journey of life :).
All the best,
How each person feels about life really is a matter of perspective.
Like that...Thanks.
