"How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these."

- George Washington Carver

Measuring up to all these things may or may not lead to fame, fortune and status in the outer world, but it will take us far into the inner world, especially along the terrain of our hearts and the landscape of our souls.

So let's aim to love people of all ages and in all stages of life and embrace without judgment our own growing and aging.

Always,
Charlene
