The good part about getting older is you stop trying to prove anything to anyone, including yourself. All you are in the pursuit of is collecting experiences - beautiful, fragile little soap bubbles that you store in your heart, and every once in a while you pull one out and gaze at the delicate pictures it shows you!

So true, so true! Getting older one would assume would offer enough knowledge to just appreciate the life we lead and not be too negative.

Hello Paul - once again your quote selection was new-to-me and it also sent me on an online search for a bit more about its author. The learning continues. . .

I have found that older makes me richer in experiences. I am always making room for more joy, aren’t you Nina Hollander, Broker?

Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, CRS frankly, Paul... I don't even think about it... I just live my life the way I want to and pay no attention to those who think I should live otherwise.

Hi Paul- I do relate to this!!! One of the first things I learned was that I don't have to be around people who drag me down. And yes, treasure each memory and savor our older ones.

I Can feel the lightness and happiness in the quote. While I agree I no longer feel a need to prove myself to others or the world, I can feel a call to grow spiritually and to grow in kindness, compassion, empathy, and love. I can understand the comments of Brian England and Kathy Streib.
