Living Gracefully

Aging truly is living. It’s waking up day after day and still being alive.

So, with that in mind, what if we started replacing “age” with “live”?

In some places, the honesty would be quite a shock. Those “anti-living” products wouldn’t exactly fly off the shelves. Nor would the birthday cards exclaiming, “Wow! You haven’t lived a bit!”

But there are a plenty of phrases where the switchover would work beautifully. We’d recognize: The world’s population is living. Our bodies change as we live. And even though we haven’t seen those actors in years …

… they sure have lived.
