I love this piece so much! I am 61 and a half. Mom taught me to "own your age, celebrate the wisdom, leave the bad stuff behind and when you are ready, return to it and learn the lesson if there is one". I have long, silver hair and love it, love it, love it. I say what I think with kindness (or as kind as I can muster); I am direct where I used to "hope" that people would willingly give me what I needed. They won't. Just because I ask for what I need from them does not mean I will get it. That's okay because I had the courage to request. Thank you for this empowering piece of writing this morning.
