My Mother

[poliphilo]

 My mother is in her mid eighties and has the enthusiasms of a child. She's so bright and cheerful. She owns all these race horses and it's like she's an eight year old who's just discovered ponies. I can't imagine being so near the end of my life and still so enthralled by the business of living.

She's beautiful.

Good for her. Enthusiasm is a wonderful thing.

Yes.

Her example suggests old age may not be such a bad thing after all.

And that right there is worth so very much.
Beautiful. Hope I'm like that later in life. Heck, I hope to emulate that _now_ :)

I think you've got to take it one day at a time, trusting that every single day will contain something of value.
