I quietly turned 55 (no large celebrations or events) in June. It has been a remarkable life filled with many challenges, many victories and many lessons.

The German author Hermann Hesse (1877–1962) writes that the more one matures, the younger one grows. And certainly there are many people who, as they age, become increasingly vigorous and energetic, more broad-minded and tolerant, living with a greater sense of freedom and assurance. It is important to remember that aging and growing old are not necessarily the same thing.

I always reflect back to another quote by – Aging is an extraordinary process where you can become the person you always could have been.

Peace and Love, Jim
