Aging: Perfect Time to Stop

Aging is a period of transition in women’s lives during which we arrive at a place which is not clearly defined, a place where we experience marked changes. As we previously moved through our daily lives, we fell into patterns of doing the same things, in the same way, in the same places, with the same people. Those day-to-day patterns defined us. But now we have an opportunity to explore beyond the familiar ways in which we thought about life. One of life’s greatest gifts in the mature stages of the journey is the freedom from being you. You no longer have to play the roles which you previously created for yourself, or which others created for you.
