Your inside person does not have age. It is the ages you have ever been and the age you are at this very moment.*
Anne Lamott
A stress-free life might sound great, but it would mean not just avoiding the hard parts but forgoing many of the sweeter moments.**
Arthur Brooks
I wonder,
If you choose an age to stick at,
What would it be?
For me,
It would have to be
the age I am now…
For all the creaking of my body,
The mistakes I’ve made
The amount of time I have left.
There are also the things I know and can do,
The people in my life,
The possibilities I can see.
