5. Aging gracefully
I have a story about aging gracefully. Please listen!
A sixty-year-old lady, who is not willing to age gracefully. spends all her husband's income on lipstick, make-up and 'miracle' anti-aging products from head to toe, and as many 'spare parts as possible, as many coats of polish as possible. One day, after emptying out her husband's monthly retirement income on make-up, she comes and stands in front of him and asks, 'Honey, how old do I look?"
He says, 'Darling, if I look at your hair, I would say you look only twenty! If I look at your cheeks, just twenty-five! If I look at your skin, you look less than eighteen! If I look at your eyes and lips, less than twenty!' She is floored and blushing. She says. 'Stop, honey, you are too much!' He says, 'Wait, dear! I haven't added it all up yet!'
Listen: it is the pain and incompletions you carry inside that makes aging look so ugly. When you complete with pain, aging happens gracefully.
