Wisdom

Just tonight I was talking to an old friend on the phone. I was complaining about how tired and old I was feeling. She said to me "yes but with age comes wisdom. Just today I was looking at a photo of you when you were 17. You were on the beach in a bikini and you were beautiful but you weren't wise. Now you are beautiful and wise".

I love her and now I feel remarkably less tired but not less tired enough to want to tackle the pile of washing, rubbish and dirty dishes.

It's true. I often say, I would not trade my current brain for my 20 year old brain - even if I could get my twenty year old face and body back.
