- Popped into see the parents (in their 80's and 90's, respectively) of one of my oldest childhood friends this week. It reminded me to make a real effort to surround myself with interesting people and the way to do this is to keep oneself interested, care about what's going on in the world, have an opinion but also listen to what other people have to say, and work on that sense of humour. Growing old is not for sissies and I can't begin to understand how brave one has to be to tackle the ageing process, especially when your physical self starts letting you down, scary stuff!
- Nelson Mandela turns 94 this year - such bravery!
