Maturation

As I was sitting getting my haircut last weekend, I noticed that I no longer had brown hair.  It is now "salt and pepper."  I have noticed other changes such as really needing reading glasses rather than it being better to have them.  I am trying to take a balanced and positive view of these changes.  It does seem like an oppurtunity to slow down a little bit, enjoy life more, and refocus on what is important:  family, dogs, and creative pursuits like music and animal tracking.
