Well, I am not "old", relatively speaking, but I am older than I was twenty years ago, and I notice it.

Mostly I feel more canny, more solid, and a little wiser. even though I know life is unpredictable, I also know I have deep roots in it, and I am more resilient than I used to be.

But I hope never to give up my sense of wonder. It would be great to have that sense of earthiness, combined with a childlike sense of discovery. :) I know elders like that, and I want to be like them as I continue to get older. :)
