6 words

My friend Carrie tagged me with the direction to describe my life in 6 words. This is probably a popular thing to do right now because of the recently published book:
Not Quite What I Was Planning: Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous and Obscure by Larry Smith and Rachel Fershleiser. The authors asked over 300 people to sum up their life in 6 words; a lofty goal considering they couldn't even keep the book title under that. It's actually an intriguing idea, and I think I'd enjoy reading what some famous people have to say about their lives. I wonder how long most people had to think about it before they came up with something. I have to admit I've been thinking about it for days now and haven't invented a satisfactory phrase. I thought it would be super hard to restrict myself to 6 words. But it turns out that the best phrase I've come up with so far is actually only 4 words! I know, I must be a genius or something. So, I'm bucking the system and giving my 4 word phrase as an answer.

Getting better with age.

I have plenty of great memories, but I don't ever long for times past. Whatever stage of life I am currently in is the best I've had so far, and I have reason to believe this is going to continue to be the case. As I age my life truly gets better. I'm not saying that only good things happen. There are crummy experiences at every stage of life, so that is not going to change or go away. But I enjoy who I am as a person more and more with time. I become more thankful and aware of blessings with time. I have accepted myself and loved myself more and been able to show more love to others as a result of that.

So, anyone out there have a 6 word phrase to describe their life? It's a big challenge. Obviously, I'm okay with some rule-bending. Actually, I completely disregarded the directions. Oh well. That probably says something else about me...
