The older I get,
..the more I value family and friends and life and the less concerned I am about surface stuff,
…the more I appreciate old values, old friends, old remedies to ills, physical and emotional, and spiritual.
…the more I want to hug my loved ones
…the more I see humor in inconsequential things.
…the less concerned I am about other people’s opinion of me.
…the more I value family time and talks with friends
The older I get, the more life, love, freedom, laughter, family, friendships mean to me. Oh! And I do enjoy a good book and a good cup of hot coffee. 
Sometimes it’s the little things that count. Like talking to a family member on the phone, or even sharing a wave with a neighbor across the street.
This is all very true, Morgan. Thanks for writing.
