LIFE beings at...38! So says one or two at an age of 38, 39 and 35 (LT Jan 16).

Well, life begins the moment one is born.

Life goes on and on until the children have made their own mark in life.

Now this is where it all begins for the woman. I say take a good look at yourself. Now is the time to live and let you do all the things that have been denied.

My life began when I was 60 years of age. No, I did not have a face-lift, or colour my hair yet, bit by bit, I exercised, I loved to skip, dance, later I was learning to swim. My life had just begun.

Some may say I don't believe that, yet it is the truth. I feel fresh and free to dress as I like, to sing, to dance, to laugh and make people happy. As one lady said to me, Ada you are amazing'. And I said yes, it is all coming out, and I love it.

I could go on and on, life is for living and now I know it is a true saying.
