I would not be a day younger than I am but I do look with wonder and envy on young people graduating from high school and college. They have all those years of living and learning ahead of them. And their world is full of possibilities that didn't exist in my youth. What I would give for the chance to travel in space, visit the moon or Mars, see the world a hundred years from now knowing that I still have a hundred years ahead of me.
Life is a wonderful gift.
Age enables me to appreciate its possibilities.
Old age (it will never happen) makes it possible for me to get with away with all sorts of foolishness and still maintain my dignity.
