A thought came to me earlier this morning: As we age we "gorge ourselves" on different things.
As I'm about to enter my sixth decade of living I've discovered my feasting is now on things like my life-long friendships, serenity, solitude, and the adventures on the journey of my happiness and inner fulfillment. I don't need to drink to excess as I did in my 20s and 30s, I don't need any more sexual conquests, and I certainly don't need to gorge myself on the need for approval of others.
This creates a sustained state of grace within me. A blissful flow that if given proper attention can be easily maintained throughout the remainder of my life.
