Getting Older Is

A smiling woman and man wearing traditional conical hats and sunglasses, sitting in a boat on a river.

Worrying about your parents traveling through Southeast Asia, realizing that the tables have turned.

Noticing how your reflection in the mirror keeps changing.

Swapping chronological age for biological age.

Becoming familiar with death and your own mortality.

The greatest gift.

Taking better care of your health.

Forgiving yourself.

Letting go.

Working smarter, not harder.

Paying more attention to one thing at a time.

Shredding insecurities.

Peeling of layers of conditioning.

Taking yourself less seriously.

Befriending your inner child.

Learning how to recognize, set and keep your boundaries.

Becoming more selfish, for the good of the realm.

Waking up to your one wild and precious life.

Becoming yourself.

Falling in love with yourself.

Again. And again. And again.
