偉大的馬克辛尼哲學！ |
Great Maxine's Philosophy! |
|
我不責備自己吃額外餅乾，或者不清理我的床，或用於購買我並不需要的水泥壁虎，但期待 所以'伊蘭特前衛'在我的院子。我有權處理，應該是混亂，以是奢侈的。不久之前，我見過太多親愛的朋友們離開這個世界 ，但沒有理解年長的自由。 |
I don't chide myself for eating that extra cookie, or for not making my bed, or for buying that silly cement gecko that I didn't need, but looks so 'avante garde' on my patio. I am entitled to a treat, to be messy, to be extravagant. I have seen too many dear friends leave this world too soon; before they understood the great freedom that comes with aging. |

其業務是如果我選擇閱讀或玩電腦上，直到4 點上午和中午才睡覺？我將舞蹈與自己那些60年代和70年代的美妙曲調，如果我，同時，要流淚了失去了愛情，我會的。 |
Whose business is it if I choose to read or play on the computer until 4 AM and sleep until noon? I will dance with myself to those wonderful tunes of the 60 & 70's, and if I, at the same time, wish to weep over a lost love, I will. |
|
我將走在海灘游泳西裝伸展在身體和脹
將潛入波放棄如果我選擇，儘管憐憫的目光從噴氣設置。他們也將獲得歲。 |
I will walk the beach in a swim suit stretched over a bulging body and
will dive into the waves with abandon if I choose to, despite the
pitying glances from the 'jet set'. They, too, will get old. |
|
我知道我有時健忘，但再次，有些僅僅是生活 以及被遺忘，我最終記住重要的事情。 |
I know I am sometimes forgetful, but there again, some of life is just as well forgotten and I eventually remember the important things. |
|
當然，這些年來我的心已被打破。你的心怎麼能不打破當你失去親人，當一個兒童患有或當別人的心愛的寵物會遭遇車禍？破碎的心是什麼使我們的力量， 理解和同情。心永遠是質樸和破碎 不育和永遠不會知道的喜悅正在完善。 |
Sure, over the years my heart has been broken. How can your heart not
break when you lose a loved one, when a child suffers or when somebody's
beloved pet gets hit by a car? Broken hearts are what give us strength,
understanding and compassion. A heart never broken is pristine and
sterile and will never know the joy of being imperfect. |
|
我很幸運，活的夠長，我的頭髮變成灰白，和有我的青春的笑永遠刻在我深槽的臉。因此，許多人從來沒有笑了，這麼多死亡前他們的頭髮 可能會獲得銀牌。 |
I am so blessed to have lived long enough to have my hair turn gray and to have my youthful laughs be forever etched into deep grooves on my face. So many have never laughed and so many have died before their hair could turn silver. |
|
當你年齡較大，很容易是積極的，你不在乎什麼
其他人的想法。我不會問我自己問題。即使我已經獲得錯誤的權利。 |
As you get older, it is easier to be positive, you care less about what
other people think. I don't question myself anymore. I've even earned
the right to be wrong. |
|
因此，要回答你的問題，我喜歡舊的。它讓我自由。我喜歡我自己。我不會永遠生活，但現在我仍然活在這裡，我不會浪費時間悲嘆可能已經或擔心將是什麼。每一天我吃甜品（如果我喜歡） 。 |
So, to answer your question, I like being old. It has set me free. I like the person I have become. I am not going to live forever, but while I am still here, I will not waste time lamenting what could have been or worrying about what will be. I shall eat dessert every single day (if I feel like it). |

期望我們的友誼，從未消失！ |
May our friendship never come apart especially when it's straight from
the heart! |
