A Little Wiser?

I am transitioning into my next year today- no, not the Caitlyn Jenner kind of transitioning- just another year older. I once enjoyed the certitude of youth, then saw I was as prone to error as anyone else. I once thought death would not catch up to me and took some risks that could have killed me. I was sure I was going to achieve great things, but have not in the half century plus of being here. I used to think I knew what tomorrow would offer. I now know how little I know and that I should be grateful for each new dawn. I am not glad the youth is gone, but am glad the arrogance that accompanied it has vanished.
