“Aging is not lost youth, but a new stage of opportunity and strength.” Betty Friedan
“Age is no barrier. It’s a limitation you put on your mind.” Jackie Joyner-Kersee
As you get older, you become a classic and viewed with respect. It’s inevitable that we all go through this process (hopefully) and it’s a blessing to live long.
Let’s remain young at heart even when our body ages in other places:-)
Below is my first just published Poetry Book “Out of the silent breath” which is available on Amazon and Smashwords.
When you buy my book, you support me in an invaluable manner.

From the very first poem, “Dreams,” this book captivates with passionate and perceptive words. Jacqueline Oby-Ikocha captures a broad expanse of the human experience in this book of richly layered poems.

The souls never ages therefore we are always young at heart. It is just the car aka body gets a bit old. In my naive younger days I would just lump all those older than me as wise. As time went on, I realised that is not quite right. I just happen to have a great mum who can’t stop learning and am surrounded by inspiration people at the Brahma Kumaris – still studying at the age of 100 – aka Dadi Janki. That I forget that age and wisdom is not a default status. Age and wisdom is a work in progress and someone who is full of life and learning , learning their entire life. I feel learning keep you young a long with gentle exercise etc.. I so hope I will be full of learning in my later years.
Love your pictures of Dubai – is it a hotel or a shopping mall. Dubai is amazing.

This is a shopping mall. Your mother sounds like a smart role model and impacting on you positively. Truly age doesn’t impart wisdom. Some are old and foolish

Any time someone says they’re too old for something, I have 2 words for them…John Glenn. He went to space at the age of 77! Bless his heart!
