What do you like about autumn? I have recently realized that autumn is one of the best seasons of the year. The weather is still warm even as the cold begins to creep in. The leaves change color. Near my house there are spectacular walnut trees that turn glorious colors of red, and yellow and gold. But, I am not here to talk about the trees I am here to talk about our lives, as we hit our 60s. Our society does not value the special qualities of age. Except when it comes to a good wine. But, I have come to feel that this is one of the best times in my life. And if there is one thing I have learned in sixty-three years on the planet, it is to appreciate what you have each moment. So, what can make this moment so special? I want to highlight three aspects: • Wisdom acquired: we have learned a few things along the way • We get to choose: because we have paid our dues • The energy we have we can use for a life of purpose and there is so much to be done Celebrate Your Acquired Wisdom Believe it or not, when a person has been around for 60 plus years, most of us have gained some wisdom. If not from what we have done right, clearly from what we have done wrong! I had a broken heart when a long-term relationship ended in my 20s, only to have a marriage that has now reached 33 years. For three decades, my career in education kept moving up, but I suddenly hit a wall when I took on being superintendent of a dysfunctional district I could not fix. Yet, that led to today where I am engaged at a national level totally focused on my passion for equity and social justice. By now, I know that I can bounce back. Embracing Your Right to Live Your Way I believe that we have the right to decide how to spend our time, because we have paid our dues. For me, that included 30 years in public education systems working for educational equity against daunting odds with new overwhelming problems every day.
