Is there anything more souless than the Botox look?

Accept the wisdom lines, and the gray or thinning hair.

Weave them in with your memories.

Take charge as you journey into the Third Age.

Go with pride and optimism.

ZEN

is not attained by mirror-wiping

mediation, but by self-forgetfulness

in the existential present of life

here and now.

We do not "come" we "are."

Don't strive to become, but BE.

I'm ready to be inspired, she said

& I said that's not quite how it works, 

so instead we sat in the garden,

breathing & watching the bees

until she smiled quietly 

& said, 

I forget it's just that simple.

We'll never see the miracles of God

until we take one brave step

and start up the mountain 

-God will take the mountain-

all we have to do is

take courage & take the next step

At the end of the day...

I know I am a good person.

I am far from perfect

but my intensions are good;

my heart is pure, and

I love with everything I have.

Because of these things,

I am worth it.

Always have been,

always will be.

Resolve to be tender

with the young,

Compassionate with the aged,

Sympathetic with the striving

And tolerant with the 

weak and wrong.

Sometime in your life

you will have been all of these.

Grow with slow purpose, in harmony, and

And,  at the right time, bloom.

The Best Is Yet To Come

THE REST of your life...should be the best of

your life. You have the power to make it so. Look

up and ahead: remember, whatever stage you're

at...it's not the final destination.

PERFECTION EXISTS only in our dreams.

in real life it's unattainable and often unattractive.

Our imperfections set us apart as much as our

achievements. Once we learn to accept them,

we gain confidence...in our strengths, our

resilience and our potential. After all, if we

reach perfection, there's only one way to go.

An adventurous life

DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN

climbing mountains, 

swimming with sharks or

jumping off cliffs.

It means risking yourself

by leaving a little piece of you behind

in all those you meet along the way.
