Just getting older grounds me. Frankly, from my experience, youth is overrated.
THese are great, everyone! Thanks! Solomio - this is especially striking to me.
I so easily forget I can find it within. And in truth, I am the one that gets up at 6 every day to walk that dog, so I am creating my own regulation.
I also agree that age has been nothing but a gift. It is the perspective that I so value. I suffered from terminal uniqueness syndrome to the enth degree! That created much drama and angst and suffering that I don't need today.
You all bring me stability, too!
