Hey, Bill: As you expressed. one of the greatest gifts of ageing is humility. People think of being humble as being shuffle-footed, and self-effacing. That's not the true meaning of humility. Humility is accepting yourself for who you are with complete honesty. (Or as complete as we ever get.) That means accepting your strengths, your talents and your gifts, as well as you weaknesses and failings. Accepting your failings means that you don't spend a lot of time denying your life, or making excuses for what you've done. It also mean that you're more likely to avoid making the same mistakes, if you faced them honestly. Accepting responsibility for your talents and gifts means that you use each day as wisely as you can. As the clock winds down on your life, each day becomes more valuable, and you want to use it in service or pleasure. Service is one of the best sources of pleasure. I see all of this reflected in your posts, over the years.

Good on you.

Jerry
