January 5: THE GREATEST THING IN THE WORLD: I am the secret of health and happiness. I am the inspirations of youth and the solace of old age. I am always available. I am invincible and eternal. I am the antidote for crime, poverty, cruelty and fear. I am the conqueror of disease, despotism, and despair. I am the healer of hatred, sin, and injustice. I am the co-partner of truth and righteousness. I am the remedy for the world's wants, wars, and woes. I am the builder of churches, chapels, and cathedrals. I am the guide of preachers, prophets, and poets. I am the creator of lofty music, pictures, and architecture. I am the handservant of faith, mercy, and charity. I am the fulfilling of the law. I am the greatest thing in the world I am LOVE.
From Grenville Kleiser in his little book from 1917 titled, "Inspiration & Ideals" :) - don't forget, the word 'man' is generic and substitute 'God' for whatever your personal belief is...enjoy

Style doesn’t go out of fashion the older you become – and a new British survey has proved this.

About 1,000 British women aged 50 years and over were recently asked to name their style icon of all time and Oscar-winning actress, Helen Mirren, most famous for her portrayal of Elizabeth II in The Queen, came out on top, ahead of renowned model and face of the swinging sixties, Twiggy.

Australia’s very own songstress Kylie Minogue came in at number 12, while surprisingly supermodel Kate Moss was also popular among the over-50s.

While many listed their favourite icons, about 85% of the over-50s polled said they had their own style.

Zimbio website reported nine out of 10 women aged 50 years and over said they took pride in their appearance, with more than half claiming they never worried about “dressing inappropriately” for their age.

Nine out of 10 of the women also said they “dress for themselves”, with the majority admitting they had enjoyed shopping more the older they became.

Many of the women also said they were not afraid to “embrace younger styles”, with experts suggesting the results prove age really is no “barrier to style or confidence”.

“It’s inspiring to see many women over-50 more comfortable in their self and confident in their style to explore new clothing options,” they said.
