Certain relationships, one’s appreciation for being alive, i.e. slowing down and savoring a moment. Maybe you stop worrying so much about some things, while other things emerge– the sand in the hourglass dynamic helps one clarify, become more proficient at prioritizing, saying no and saying yes. Relationships move up the list in importance, and maybe the need to keep up with the Joneses fades– because that was always an unwinnable rat race, anyway.
Maybe as one ages, one gets better at discerning what’s real, what feeds the soul.
