Our new friend Cynthia wants to age gracefully. So buckle up everyone, it's time to face our own mortality! This is something Anne and Gale have thought about since they were small children, but we guess Cynthia's a late bloomer. Caroline finds comfort in growing older into a Julia Louis Dreyfus. Anne's older spirit animal is Dianne Keaton, and of course her mom! Gale and Caroline suggest Cynthia look inward and try taking stock of her happiness in her "golden years". Caroline gets zen, Gale teaches us how to tap dance with the help of Rachel Green and Anne tells Cynthia to make out with her life. Ultimately we all agree that youth is in the eye of someone who's young; and if you're not young, that's ok! Also, you're never too old to discover Ann Patchett and Oliver Sacks.
