This week, Margaret reflects upon the gift of aging, and the opportunities that come from reflecting on the very act of having lived a life - even when some days and months have been blighted by trauma.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Aging is not a period for negativity and regret. It is an opportunity to view the life we have lived so far in a constructive way.
• Growing old is unavoidable, but rather than see it as a time to slow down, we should view it as the culmination of every moment since birth.

BEST MOMENTS

'Life gets more exciting as you age'

'It's an opportunity to look at this stage of my life as a rebirth'

'What more can I ask for than this beautiful gift?'

'I feel more authentic, vibrant, enthusiastic and carefree'
