Excellent article. I'm an oldie. I can't measure my own wisdom: that's for others to do. I concentrate on the things I can control. I try to value every interaction with every person I run across, stranger or not, always striving for humor and kindness. I am gradually letting go of any anger about the past. I try to look at my judgments of people to see if they really carry any truth. I always honor my wife, the one person who has always understood me and laughed at my foibles. And I always end my day by thanking God for another day.
