I hear the same words, "I'm getting old," out the mouths of twenty-year-olds when they realize thirty is suddenly on their horizon. That's why the Budda quote is so brilliant.

You mentioned a post that is similar to the essay I posted on my blog (working mom's guide to staying home) - if you can retrieve that from your archive, I'd like to read it.

I agree with Sharon who posted above, you "paint beautiful word portraits" ... what a lovely way she put that! And it's true.

You have the gifts (and experience) that enable you to paint beautiful word portraits of life's circumstances, and that crosses all generations.<br /><br />This old girl is rapidly approaching the tail end of my '60's and life is surprisingly good. I'm now designing for a living after many years of being a systems techie, and, I'm in a lovely romance after years of self-imposed celibacy. So, my dear, it truly is never too late if you're still alive.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02852119592451618703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907885067602758337.post-3808480108317760012010-06-05T06:47:20.415-04:002010-06-05T06:47:20.415-04:00I sympathize with this post, good lady.

But those years I wasn't writing made me who I am today, so they're not lost at all.<br /><br />Also, Frank McCourt didn't publish Angela's Ashes till he was in his sixties.

It's a bit outdated. The words aren't from your generation or mine. But the book is fascinating none-the-less. <br /><br />One of the most compelling passages I've come across so far is when Zorba tells the story of how he and a Russian communicated through dance. They "danced" their stories to each other, with passion and spirit and god-knows-what-else and were able to communicate way better than they could with their own limited knowledge of each other's language.<br /><br />So who cares if your slang is different than mine, and mine is different than a 30-year-old's, and that 30-year-old's is different than a teenager's. Let's just dance our stories out there and tell them with passion!<br /><br />Squeeeeeeeee!Rohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03631771953626754039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907885067602758337.post-59726381907393745952010-06-04T20:48:42.288-04:002010-06-04T20:48:42.288-04:00Doesn't matter how old the package, it's t...Doesn't matter how old the package, it's the age of the spirit inside that counts.Alex J.

Sometimes an opportunity for change comes along and a person sees it for what it is and embraces it. Usually, they are scared shitless and run as fast as they can for the familiar and miss what could have been. I know you dropped in on HERE'S FOR YOU THURSDAY, but I don't know if you watched Java's video. If you didn't, come back and give it a spin. I admire your pluck. I know you know what that means;-)Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907885067602758337.post-83915734183092608422010-06-04T16:14:49.729-04:002010-06-04T16:14:49.729-04:00Here here!
