As Time Goes By

The Sides of Aging
Loss of family	On occasion of their 43rd anniversary.	More patience
Loss of friends		Awareness of beauty
Erosion of senses		Strength of character
The withering vine		Mellowed emotions
The ravages of time		Stronger sense of self
Advancing infirmities		Deepening relationships
September of our years		Greater appreciation for life
Diminished physical endurance		Increased mental endurance
