No matter how difficult things may be, I think we need to keep it all in perspective, and keep faith in the future. If nothing else, it is our covenant with ourselves, in trying to live our lives.
I am not old, but when I become old, I hope I am one of those beautiful old women that glows with her own inner light, in a life that has been well lived. One who offers courage to the young. One who sets an example in how they treat themselves, and those that surround her.
