women link youth to fertility that as
menopause approaches, it makes us
think more about our age. We start to
worry about what others think; we
start to wonder whether we’re too old

that number that flashes unbidden
into your head when someone asks
how old you are. For others, you
might need to ask yourself a few

Your spirit age is how
you’ve kicked around

that’s your true age.
Not that other
arbitrary number.
