So true! I also love the poem (or long quote?) by Ram Dass that talks about how we judge people in a different way than we judge the rest of the world, particularly nature. Here’s the link:

Excellent point. I always think of how, when I judged my kids I would always find the most fault when I felt they exhibited the same weakness or problem that I found in myself. A projection of my own failings. Fortunately, I hardly ever gave voice to my judgments.

Oh aging, how it sucks! I’m just pretending it isn’t happening and maybe it will go away. One can hope.

I’ve always thought of “old” as a fluid term. Old was always 10 years older than my parents. My mother died at 99, so old is 109. But I do understand what you mean about how my thinking has changed. Now I look at life in terms of how many years do I think I have left? I didn’t used to think that way just 10 years ago. But it is part of what drove me to want to move. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for years and I didn’t want the door to close on our opportunity to start all over again somewhere else.

It’s my favorite quote of his, by the way. And he has many!

Yes, we are the same way. And yet I want to work through it and come out in a different place more at ease.

Yes, the view from here is different. For certain.
