Aging Passionately

This is great French conductor Georges Prêtre.  He is conducting intemezzo of Mascagni's famous Opera Cavalleria Rusticana.  Just look at his passion and love for his art.....


37?  Are you kidding me?  Well its true.  I feel great.  But I am getting older.  I am at a age now where most of the professional athletes have already retired from their sport. I have 3 main wishes this year. 

1.  I hope this year I get closer to the Lord.
2.  I hope that I am a better husband to Lisa and a better father to Desmond.
3.  I hope that I have passion on all things that I do and do it to the fullest.

I joke about being old but fact of the matter is that I am not that old.  There are still professional athletes my age and even older.  Though I am not the spring chicken that I was, I am still capable of doing many many things.  But aging is inevitable.  When asked about aging, an aging super model Paulina Porizkova replied that aging was a privilege.  Which was a great wisdom that I did not expect to hear from a former super model.  But truly aging is a privilege.  As I age, I hope I have passion and love for all things that I do.  Like the great Georges Prêtre.  Click on the video.  Its somethin' else.
