I love my life.

[Raven]

After 61 years of practicing at it, I should be near to getting it right...right?

I've decided that you spend a good 2/3rds of your life trying to please others, live up to other peoples' expectations and, if you are a mother, getting your kids off to a good start. If you're a spouse, trying to please the other. Then, it seems to me, that all the wisdom you have accumulated over many years kicks in and you begin to do things that are good for you and you alone. At that point, I think you are even better for the others in your life.

When you think about it, we spend years accumulating knowledge, understanding, experience and it's really towards the end of our lives that we become fit human beings. Sometime I think it should be the reverse!
