"Someday I may be old... but not today."
Another segment of time closes and, without interruption, a new one opens. As one year changes to the next, many of us reflect on what we have experienced, treasuring the good and bemoaning the not-so-good. Now, at the end of our sixth decade of earthly life, the natural, normal, inevitable signs of aging may be grabbing more of our attention. Still, what's inside of our "earth suit" -- our perspectives, our attitudes, our heart, our spirit -- can continue to be transformed and renewed... continue to shine and grow. May we age gently and gracefully. ~ Kelena Mori , Dec. 31, 2021
