I'm 72. With a little bit of luck, life does get better as you get older. I'm happier now than I've ever been.

It’s inspiring to hear your perspective, Phil. There’s a certain wisdom that comes with age - learning what truly matters and finding peace in the simple joys.

I love that you mention finding ways to celebrate the everyday as much as we can (in addition to our birthdays). I remind myself often just how much depth, richness, and zestfulness there is to be experienced in any given moment.

This has helped me become so much more at peace with the natural unfolding of my path.

Happy birthday Alexandria ☺️

Alexandria, thank you supporting the Norton that ageing is something we should celebrate and embrace those with this added wisdom. Refreshing to see from a young woman like you.
