In the midst of all that steadiness, it is easy to become prisoners of the routine and forget just how wonderful life really is. Thornton Wilder wrote a play about that which he called “Our Town”.

A group of retired residents of an institution diplomatically called “A Home for Senior Citizens” had gathered for an afternoon discussion led by a volunteer from a local university. Each person was asked to quote a favorite poem or to sing a favorite song and then to comment on the verse or song. One frail, little lady both began and ended the session when she lifted her hand and repeated part of a familiar line: “Grow old along with me… the best is yet to be.” No sooner had her voice faded in the air than a gruff, loud snort […]
