“Acting your age” really means choosing the age you wish to be.
There is an art to aging gracefully.
Just as our own perspective
may reflect our maturity,
the sum of our feelings
may reveal our age
with a certain surety.
But the condition of the mind,
body, heart and soul
determines a person’s true age.
Numbers are not a reliable standard,
they are only notches
on a crude gauge.
Wonderful! People do need to realise that age is just a number. Too many of us let this ‘number’ restrict our thoughts and bodies…youth is a mind-set not a state of being and can be achieved at any point throughout the cycle of life!
