This is your best short story yet! This is basically how an educated, thinking person lives their lives.

Hopefully, it allows them to improve and grow in mind, spirit, and body as time goes on. Life is a

journey!!!

Thanks, Ann...and yes, I agree. Much to ponder in that poem-reflection about honoring each version. It seems there is both a grief and joy in the honoring of each version. Thanks again for sharing!

Thanks for the reminders!

But it is not our job to hold anyone accountable to the people they used to be.

It is our job to travel with them between each version and to honor what emerges along the way.

Hard, but good advice!
