Every minute. Every second. […] Growing older is a wonderful thing because it means that we get a chance, every day, to live a full, happy life. […] Language matters. When talking about a woman over, say, 40, people tend to add qualifiers: “She looks great … for her age” or “She’s beautiful … for an older woman.” Catch yourself next time and consider what would happen if you just said, “She looks great.” […] I’m not going to lie and say that everything about aging is great. […] But we need to stop looking at our life as a hill that we start rolling uncontrollably down past 35.
