On Aging Well

A recent convergence of events got me thinking about my age.

Over the last month I have paid my respects at the grave sites of  my four grandparents , visited my mother’s grave, and helped my 90 year-old father spread the ashes of his younger brother.

Modern technology allows me to keep in touch with a long-time friend who turned 60 and marked the event with a wonderful essay.

At the same time I celebrated the wedding of the beautiful daughter of a woman who I grew up with, but  died way too young seven years ago.

I have the feeling the universe is trying to tell me something, only I’m not smart enough to get the message.
