I like the idea that 'old age is when it all starts', maybe because we are more aware of the value of time and moments well-spent. With years, I think we learn to focus on what is essential and discard the rest.
smiles... Thousand watt smile with dentures... i like... and i think the older we get the more we hunger for the things that are real and that will last when we're long gone
