I love quotes – I get so excited when I come across one that says exactly how I feel but says it much better than I could. It’s like finding that perfect greeting card.
Let me know how you feel about this one: “Aging is not lost youth but a new stage of opportunity and strength.”- Betty Friedan

AGE? BY WHAT MEASURE? YEARS WE’VE BEEN HERE? BY THE ACHES WE HAVE? OR WHAT WE FEEL IN OUR HEAD? I’VE KNOWN SOME 30ISH VERY OLD PEOPLE. ME? I’VE BEEN MUSHING ALONG FOR OVER 82 YEARS…BUT…I’M ONLY 35 IN MY HEAD! WHAAA HOOOO! SO WHERE DO YOU FIT IN?
At 81 I feel every minute of it. On most days, that’s a really good thing: I appreciate and use my experience, look forward to learning and doing more, am grateful for being here, etc. On other days, the younger person inside says, “What! 81? You’ve got to be kidding! Not possible!”
My favorite saying on one woman’s tombstone, “Tried Everything Twice, loved it both times” Live your life and forget your age.
