Age

With an expanded waistline, Menopause Barbie could expand the doll’s market beyond idealized youth to reach the low estrogen demographic.

If our lifespan has increased to a century, we should be defining middle age as 40 to 70, and our ultimate stage as 70 to 100.

Elders remind me how comparatively young I am. But young people can flip that feeling when they remind me how old I seem to them.

Yesterday I was serious about doing a somersault. It was an early morning flight of fancy, but I really thought I would do it.

My problem is, I say what I think, but I also say what I don’t think. I can be thoughtless. That’s Loose Cannon Syndrome.

The tide is going nowhere, it flows both ways, and it will be back tomorrow. So, just stop with the striving and float.  

There was only one path to this moment and it’s the path I took. That’s my big birthday revelation. Aging has a sweet spot, and I’m there.
