Life stood beside me on the frozen steps and gently placed a hand on my arm. “Fifty-four and a half,” she said. “This is your next door. Enter carefully because it is not the same as thirty-seven and a half was. It comes with more wrinkles, gray hair, and a large dose of menopause.”

“Why in the world would I want to enter then?” I ask.

“Because it comes with the perks of wisdom and clarity, too.”

I sigh and point at the other door. “And the seventy-one and a half?”
​
Life smiles, “I’ll see you again in seventeen years.”

(100 words)

*Remember when you were little and how proud you were to say, "I'm six and a half!" That half a year was a huge deal! So, Life does not forget*
