“To
be a crone you need to let go of what should have been, could have
been, might have been. You need to silence the whining in your head
before it comes out of your mouth. Whining makes you unable to live
in the present, or be good company for anyone – even your self.
Whiners assume they were and are entitled to a different life from
the one they have. Whiners do not see that everyone has had a share
of the bad things that happen to people. Ungrateful for what they do
have, whiners canot enjoy the present.”
