Meryl Streep...

when asked 'Does age matter in Hollywood?' had this to say:

"It's all about talent, skill and passion. Also, it's about your willingness to learn..." (I've kept only the relevant part of the paragraph)

and there it is for all of us who are growing older and wondering whether we can go on making life interesting for ourselves. No matter what we do, or in what circumstance life has placed us, it is all about the talent we have (the obvious ones, and the not-so-obvious ones), the skills we possess and those we've acquired over the years, and the passion we bring to every day (this is the day that the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it). It is also about our willingness to keep an open mind so that we can learn something new every day.
