young as your hope...

young as your hope

Yesterday I turned 67...
a reminder that I am getting old.

However, I am not giving up.
Lots of dreams to fulfill
and projects to complete.

“Nobody grows old merely
by living a number of years.
We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years may wrinkle the skin,
but to give up enthusiasm
wrinkles the soul.”
- Samuel Ullman
 

“You are as young as your faith,
as old as your doubt;
as young as your self-confidence,
as old as your fear;
as young as your hope,
as old as your despair.
- Douglas MacArthur
