This morning I envisioned my life force as a bathtub full of pleasantly warm and soothing water. There was a small drain near my feet, but the water was emptying so slowly that I was only slightly aware of the small hole. Soon, I noticed that the water was much lower on my body than before, but I was still so comfortable, enjoying the feeling, barely moving. Before I could even slightly adapt, the water was rapidly draining, recreating itself into a miniature, tornadic shape over the drain. My body grew colder; I was heavier, becoming uncomfortable and more difficult to move. The hardness of the tub caused my bones to ache. The vortex of water gained momentum as gravity sucked the last drops away.

I read the following on FB, so it must be true. 🤣 Anyway . . . It’s uplifting, encouraging, and just what I needed; now I’m sharing it:

“An extensive study in the USA found that the most productive age in human life is between 60-70 years of age. The 2nd most productive stage of the human being is from 70 to 80 years of age. The 3rd most productive stage is from 50 to 60 years of age. The average age of the Nobel Prize winners is 62 years old. The average age of the presidents of prominent companies in the world is 63 years. The average age of the pastors of the 100 largest churches in the USA is seventy-one. The average age of the Popes is 76 years. This tells us, in a way that has been determined, that the best years of your life are between 60 and 80 years. A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that at age 60, you reach the top of your potential and this continues into your eighties. Therefore, if you are between 60-70, or 70-80, you are in the best and 2nd level of your life!” Supposed ‘Source’: New England Journal of Medicine, 70,389 (2018)
