Old is better

This is the wood work across the top front of my antique dresser. I just love old things more than new. They have character and whatever wood this is, smells lovely.

I didn't realize the relevance of this post until now. I have a close friend who turned the big 4-0 today. He was feeling weird about having that number associated with him. Old is really better, more interesting, more to say, more to offer. He says he feels 20, and I don't doubt he does. However, isn't the combination of someone who feels young enough to grab life by the horns but has some of the wisdom that comes with age, so much better? I sure think so. Happy day of your birth to you, you know who you are.
