In our never-ending nostalgic quest to relive the 'Golden Age’ (which never really existed), we realise that ultimately, we are here for a finite time. What does age really mean to us?
Be willing to part with those things which no longer serve you…I am very much resonating with this. Along with being present by. Also, I wish I had known Dorothy French!
I know that in the past, I have been guilty of clinging to things (and people) when they no longer served me, so this is very much an ongoing journey for me. She was definitely a character of a bygone age!
This was fantastic, David. It's definitely made me think about a lot of things! I think now, more than ever, young people in particular are conscious of both their age and their ageing. My early to mid 20s were unfortunately lost to the pandemic – but I think the reason *why* that feels so unfortunate is because so many of us are told that we need to get X, Y and Z done before we're 30. It seems ridiculous to even write it down, because 30 is such a young age! This topic has really made me think – I feel like I'm going to be reflecting on it all day. Thanks so much for these reflections 😊
What a wonderful photo of Dorothy French and what a life she lived. As I approach a significant birthday, such thoughts are particularly pressing this year. Such a lovely post, David.

Thank you so much, I’m really glad it resonated with you 🙏
Very well said. Age is just a number and each day is the 1st day of the rest of your life.
