 If you desperately try to remain young, it is usually to hide your own beliefs about age, and to negate all those emotions connected with it. Whenever you refuse to accept the reality of your creaturehood, you also reject aspects of your spirit. The body exists in the world of time and space. The experiences you may encounter in your sixties are as necessary as those in your twenties. Your changing image is supposed to tell you something. When you pretend alterations do not occur you block both biological and spiritual messages. - Seth and The Nature of Personal Reality (via Jane Roberts)

Love this quote so much! I firmly believe that as well. When I was younger I always thought how horrible it would be to grow old, but now that I'm growing older I find it such a beautiful, transitional experience. To feel all of the changes your body goes through as it ages is a wonderful sign that you are living, and I can't wait to embrace every inch of my years to come! :) Thanks for sharing this Melissa!

Yes, so true Monique! Meryl Streep said a beautiful quote recently that reminds me of what you said. She said that as she's grown older she's lost so many people, and she knows that to be here is such a gift, and each wrinkle is a beautiful reminder she has been given the gift of life for that much longer....
