Growing Content not Old

During one of my laundry folding sessions listening to great talks, I listened to Mary Ellen Edmonds talk about growing old. Here are some of the quotes she talked about.

Don’t think of it as growing old, but growing happy, growing grateful, growing content, or growing kind.

“Live with enthusiasm. Nobody grows old by deserting their ideals. Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.
You are
As young as your faith...as old as your doubt.
As young as your self confidence...as old as your fear
As young as your hope...as old as your despair “
By Gen. Douglas McArthur
