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.

She is beautiful ... sometimes I think the secret to aging well is simply to determine that you're going to live as though you would never die. Then you never find yourself in the trap of thinking that it's "too late" to enjoy yourself.
