Quote of the Day - 09.28.2025​

“To keep the heart unwrinkled, to be hopeful, kindly, cheerful, reverent—that is to triumph over old age.”
— Thomas B. Aldrich​

There’s something so refreshing about this quote, isn’t there? It’s a gentle nudge that getting older isn’t about the number of birthdays we’ve had, but about keeping our hearts light and full of kindness. It’s not about ignoring the years—it’s about welcoming them with a smile and a hopeful spirit.

How do you keep your heart “unwrinkled”? Do you find it in simple daily habits like a morning walk or a good laugh with an old friend? Maybe it’s volunteering, playing music, or keeping up with a favorite hobby that makes you feel young at heart.

Share the little rituals or big adventures that help you stay cheerful and hopeful. Your story might just inspire someone else to add a few more smiles to their own day!

Cheers!
