The Chiasm of Success in Life
Most of us understand that our self worth and feelings of achievement
change as we go through life. While everyone has different aspirations,
it appears we all have some common benchmarks for what success is.
Really it all depends on your age. Consider the following:
At age 4, success is not peeing your pants
At age 16, success is "gettin' a little"
At age 25, success is graduation and a wedding
At age 35, success is about career and family
At age 55, success is about graduations and weddings
At age 65, success is "gettin' a little"
At age 90, success is not peeing your pants!

Clara,
I am so tempted to post this to my humor page, but I don't want to get flack
for [appearing to] endorse teenage promiscuity.
Oh well.
Maybe an edited version will appear at some point, called "the chiasm of
life"
Living with my declining grandmother brought many things to mind, everything
from the way she picked up the phone up-side-down like a toddler to the way
she tried to turn the TV on/off with the cordless phone.

Who's endorsing promiscuity? It is a nation wide-- world wide state
of facts. I'd post it. It is a chuckle, not an
endorsement.
Love and prayers,
Clara
