There is an upside to aging, and more and more I appreciate it.
There is a calmness now, when there used to be chaos and fretting.
There is patience to see things from other points of view, when there used to be only one way . . . mine.
There is the freedom to be myself, and really, truly not give a hoot, when years were spent trying to please others.
There is peace of mind. Actually, it's the choice to hand peace of mind, instead of frantic thoughts that clouded my judgement.
This article expands on this . . . the upside of aging.
