The Gift of Age

It's sad that as we age, we may feel as though we matter less; that the best is behind us, that we're past our prime. We may feel nostalgic and regretful for opportunities missed and goals unmet. But our perspectives also shift, and what mattered so much suddenly doesn't anymore. We change, but in some ways, we don't. We still feel, deep within, the same way our younger selves did. And I hope we retain the enthusiasm and dreams of youth. That's what keeps us going.
