The older I get the deeper I go into each moment. Old age is definitely not for sissies. I'm sorry about my loss of energy, mobility, and the expectation of living many more years. But after a life-long struggle with my "imperfections" I'm actually getting better at living. Better at not procrastinating, not trying to control things, not expecting catastrophic consequences when I fail at something. And better at noticing my blessings and the beauty around me -- the beauty I create and the beauty life displays. I don't think I would trade the wisdom that has come to me with age for anything that youth offered, except the love.
