“Age is just a number. It’s just packaging for your wisdom, a container for your experience!” – Futurist Jim Carroll

Here’s a nice song!

Also, here is one with some puppets.

Here are some fun facts: with a little bit of assistance from an AI.

Michelangelo began working on the dome of St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome at the age of 64, completing the project before his death at age 89.

Churchill became the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom for the second time at the age of 64, leading the country through World War II.

Laura Ingalls Wilder, known for her “Little House on the Prairie” series of books, published her first book at the age of 64.

Benjamin Franklin retired from printing and started focusing on his scientific and political work at the age of 64.

Arthur Miller won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama for his play “Death of a Salesman” at the age of 64, which is considered one of the greatest American plays of the 20th century.

Henry David Thoreau published his seminal work “Walden” at the age of 64, which has since become one of the most influential books in American literature.

Susan B. Anthony founded the National American Woman Suffrage Association at the age of 64, which played a pivotal role in securing the right to vote for women in the United States.

Oh – and Norman Vincent Peale: Peale published his bestselling self-help book “The Power of Positive Thinking” at the age of 64, which has since sold millions of copies worldwide.

One more thing. If you do the right stuff, it’s nothing like this.

My optimism always let me battle the negativity – maybe I’m always in some sort of warrior mode!

And here’s a nice phrase to start your day!

A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they shall never sit.” — Greek Proverb

It’s a wonderful day! I am grateful.
