“Aging is not ‘lost youth,’ but a new stage of opportunity and
strength. It’s a different stage of life, and if you are going to
pretend it’s youth, you are going to miss it. You are going to miss the
surprises, the possibilities, and the evolution that we are just
beginning to know about because there are no role models, no guideposts,
and no signs.”~ Betty Friedan
Susannah Conway posted that quote above and asked a group of women to write about getting older on her blog. As it is something that I struggle with and accept at the same time.
The posts are beautiful, touching, thought provoking, connecting, honest, vulnerable, soul-baring, simple, accepting, sensual, courageous and a complex mixture of amazing stories.
