"The best thing about getting
older is becoming clear on
what does and doesn't matter."
~Anita Opper, Zen to Zany
If ever there were a truth,
this is it!
When I was a young wife,
mother and teacher, I had to
dance at the speed of sound
just to keep up. Methinks I
did so with one hand on my
waist!
Now, however, Mr. Time has
slowed me down and I find
myself ever a pondering.
Naught wrong with this, I
just didn't have time before.
Then, it was about beauty.
Now, 'tis more about comfort.
Then, I read for professional
reasons. Today, I read for
pleasure. Then, I prepared
three truly fab meals a day.
Now, I eat whatever I want,
whenever I want. Ice cream
for breakfast is ever a fave!
Now that I'm a 100 years old,
I do wish we could mix up
the two!!!
Why does wisdom have to
come so late?
