I think I wrote it with tongue in cheek in part - cheeky even! - and yet it's true! ;) Ah, patience and understanding are such virtues that can be acquired as we age for sure.

You bring up an interesting comment in regards to coming to terms with aging - yours and your parents - when caretaking of them.

The only advantage I see in me as an individual is that, I'm more grounded now as opposed to my younger years. I'm less fickle minded and am pretty focus on what I should be doing. Must add, I love your fashion show pic here :)Vinodinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10293137036120700126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4481012230858682867.post-50675978170727574132014-11-15T00:05:12.339-08:002014-11-15T00:05:12.339-08:00You can write about such a difficult question with...You can write about such a difficult question with such panache, Elly! Yes, aging like everything else in life is a mixed bag in, I suppose. While we hope we will gain more wisdom because of greater life experience - good and bad - we also need to start being concerned about some health issues which in our youthful days we never ever bothered about :) Oh well...I wish I could say I am aging gracefully....but at the moment more than my aging all my thoughts about health etc have to do with my father's health. So that too is part of aging, I suppose, at least in terms of the emotional aspect -- when we have to actively take care of our parents as they enter a certain age/health condition.Beloo Mehrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10514874213623046284noreply@blogger.com
