better with age

I have quite a few friends who have birthdays in September/October, so I've spent a lot of time looking at cards lately. I liked the quote on one that I bought:

"The great thing about getting older is that you don’t lose all the other ages you’ve been." -Madeleine L'Engle

It's true-- every year brings a new adventure...but you get to carry with you the memories, wisdom, and stories gained from all your other years of living. It's kind of a cool thing. Maybe that's why it doesn't really bother me that I'm turning 30 in a couple of months...because I know, somewhere in my heart, there's a part of me that is still 14.

Have a wonder-full day.
