Youth

Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections.

On sunday, very briefly, I met a lady who exuded confidence, creativity, passion and vitality. She must have been in her late fifties but what lingered with me long after she had gone was that I had just met a young girl in an older woman's body. It was amazing - we spoke only for about twenty minutes but she was like a breath of fresh air: attentive, interested and interesting.

Oh, if the world had more people like this who had really come alive. When this is all over, when I am able to sleep peacefully again, this is something to aspire to. In fact, that's the wrong way round - it's already something to aspire to.
