All of the above, what else. At 56, I don’t worry about those things anymore. I am who I am. Take it or leave it.

Easy I would want to be wise.

Healthy and smart. Wisdom would ideally come with time, more time than I may get. The other options, beauty and wealth, don’t matter to me. Sounds like you’re very okay with where you are too.

I’m very comfortable where I am. I have never been a healthy person, I have had cancer three times, so I thought I would give up on the idea. I would say brains is something that can be achieved by most, if really desired. Wisdom, however is something that is valueable to me because now it seems to be obtained by few.

Smart has to trump the rest. If I am smart I know how to accessorize to make myself beautiful and smart enough to make a pile of dough. So smart lets you be the rest.

Fay - here, again, smart comes in. This is a quote from god only knows that I keep tacked on my office wall. Happiness isn’t getting what you want! It is being happy with what you have! Then you can dance like nobody is watching! And love like it will last forever!

Maggi D - I know this saying - it reminds me of another good word - content.

I think Mick Jagger/Keith Richards said it pretty well: You can’t always get what you want But if you try sometimes you just might find You get what you need

In my next incarnation I’m choosing a Wealthy family to be born into. I will also be at least 5’ 8”……Naturally slender…….Genius IQ. Natural Blonde Hair and extraordinarly Beautiful. I mean, if you have a choice why not go for your fantasy person. Oh if I happen to come back as a Man……wipe out the above description. Wealthy ..Good Body…. at least 6’ 3”.Genius IQ ‘a must’ Hair maybe still blonde… And absolutely gorgeous (like George Clooney) On top of these I will be Nice……..kind…….understanding ……sweet and loving.

I’d choose supernaturally strategic. Beauty fades. Often it’s vapid. Anyone looks attractive if reasonably fit/good haircut/simple clothes, good posture and a little personal style. http://www.thesartorialist.blogspot.com/ Diana Vreeland wasn’t comely but she had unforgettable style. Rich. Have met some incredibly tacky stupid empty and unhappy rich people. Sometimes what’s here today is gone tomorrow. Rich is also subjective. There are legions of people who have rich lives without a lot of money. Smarts I value more than anything, but the world is filled with smart people without the drive or creativity or pragmatics or discipline to pull together an interesting life outside of their mind and the local cafe, i.e. Berkeley is the HQ for unemployed Phds. Strategy is why Athena favored Odysseus over any other mortal. If you are strategic you can create the rest and more. And in an Age of Transition where everything is in play there is danger; and because of that, even more opportunity for the strategic.

Beachgoer: Now yours is a response I resonate with. Thank you for eloquently phrasing the search after forsightedness. Being present is always being in the right place, irregardless of external illusions. Injoy, Iris

OKBeautiful? forget that at this point. Smart? would love that but I am beginning to forget what I learned yesterday. Rich? Would make it all a bit easier. Other? Oh yes, from here on in I would like to stay healthy. If you are healthy in the “golden” years then you have it all.
