Thank you Beth. Strange though, as the body ages emphasizing past misuses, inside the sixteen year old still drives the desires.

Also, the hopes and wishes. The other day, my MIL was visiting and so were some friends of my daughter. They were treating her with great (and deserved) respect. Finally, she laughed and said, "Relax girls. I may look my age but inside, I'm nearer yours." She was not talking about 2nd childhood, but the fact that her mind was as sharp as ever and her emotions were as real. Would that we all have that kind of resilience. |

Yes Beth you are right. Some friend of mine are like that as sharp and as clear of thought as ever, maybe even better.
Others, I've watched as their inner light has faded. Today, I talked with one of these friends and I could see some small bits of slippage. Memories, not quite so clear not a lot different but to someone who knows him noticeable.

Memories, not quite so clear not a lot different but to someone who knows him noticeable. but even with impairments due to age .. minor strokes and general memory loss one can still be as bright as a button...and still find a thousand reasons to want to greet every day as some thing to be enjoyed and relished...things still to be learned..places to visit and laughs and giggles to be had....impairments just mean taking a different route to get to the same place..and realising that some things cannot be but that there are other things to take their place |
