{ of facing fears: a real senior citing during a senior portrait shoot }

i don't know why we should all fear getting old so much. one day the tiny beachfront property we bought in a [then] obscure little community 70 years ago will have increased 70x in market value and we will have the best lot in town with a big picture window over looking the pacific and we will have time to do things like sit in comfy arm chairs and read the morning news. maybe facing our fears doesn't always mean that we come off conquerer in an epic exercise of sheer will and determination, but that while staring them face to face we realize how silly we have been for being so scared all along...
