Seeking Wisdom

Me: "How does it feel to turn 91?"

She: "Terrible."

Me: "Why terrible?"

She: "Because I think of all the things I could have done that I haven't done and I think of things I have done."

Me: "I sometimes worry that I'll get to be old and feel the same way. Is there anything I should know now or change or do differently so that it's not like that for me when I get there? Do you have any advice?"

She: "I'll have to think on that......"

-------------------------
I'm not sure why but I'm asking her lots of questions lately. I'm learning that it is probably too late for questions. She did advise me the other night not to "get real mad and yell" because "it doesn't do any good." She's probably right.
