Upside of Aging
Just about everyday, I have a banana smoothie. It’s the tastiest when the bananas are really ripe. Until seeing this image I’d never thought about it as a metaphor.

brilliant!
Here’s to the 7 stages of banana!
A friend of mine from grad school told me that in her region of China, the brown-speckled bananas commanded a premium because they were so sweet and so fleeting and so few. “sesame bananas”, I think she called them.
I’m going to have to add ripe bananas to my gratitude list.
My best smoothies are made from the brownest bananas that have been sitting in my frig for a week! Mmmmm
sweet!
