I woke up today feeling thirty-five. Good sleep, pain-free joints, sharp and crisp thinking, yet, very gratefully, without the heavy baggage of weighty thought which once burdened and crushed my midlife years. It’s the best of both worlds: the seeming midlife hardware of a healthy body and brain combined with a senior citizen’s more settled perspective and mind. I’m not sure why or how this happened today, or if this experience can last very long, but I’m sure going to enjoy it while it does.
