Thought for the day ...

We know that our senses are subject to decay, that from our middle years they are decaying all the time; but happily it is as if we didn't know and didn't believe.
- W.H. Hudson, born on this date in 1841

  1. Well, I guess it depends on what you mean by "senses." At middle age, I've been thinking that I'm feeling more....or reflecting more?

  2. Like you, Shelley, I don't feel any diminution of my senses, either, though I sometimes wish I did.
