Old Age

Today is a milestone birthday for me. I'm finding that old age isn't nearly as intimidating as I had expected. It isn't prophecy ... but an observation.

When I was a young man, old age was something to dread. It seemed to be an enemy. But apparently experience gives one the opportunity to make peace with old age. Now it seems like a familiar friend that I'm extremely comfortable with. I wonder how that happened.
