Sometimes there are quotes that say it all. This is one of them:

Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.  ~Samuel Ullman

Three insights into midlife yesterday while visiting Walt Disney World Resort:

A level playing field creates an even greater need for new technology and even more hard work.

And all the while, our midlife clock is ticking.
