Distilled

 

"The truth is, all things unchanged, the women we will be at 70, 80, and 90 are the women we are at 40 and 50 - only distilled." Jean Fleming.

So if we are bitter at 40 or 50, it doesn't bode well for our old age - if nothing changes. We are free to carry on as we are, but wouldn't it be better to continue to grow? To keep on becoming the women we want to be? To forgive, to be patient, to be gracious, and most of all, to be loving. I don't want to be the same person in my 70s as I am in my 50s because that means I've become stagnant, and I certainly don't want that!
