The Self-Pity Trap
Manage episode 481969920 series 3490637
It's been a tough week. I know I can share these things with you but coming back up to the surface for air was hard. BUT, I found a poem that perfectly captures the journey of aging – learning to shed what's no longer relevant while moving forward without forgetting our past.
As I get closer to my 7th decade, I've been reflecting on how important it is to focus on the future rather than dwelling on what's been lost. To that end, I'm turning a page in this podcast about getting older.
