Yesterday I posted this photo on my Facebook page: It was seen and shared over 2000 times. Apparently it struck a nerve.

Aging As Youthfully as We Can
One of the biggest problems with getting older is that everyone else is getting older too. Day to day, the aging process is slow and steady — it comes in daily increments, little by little, so that we barely notice the changes until, of course, we do. “Where did that wrinkle come from?” we wonder….
