Norman Lear Is “Living In The Moment” As He Turns 101 – Watch The Video

Norman Lear feels like a kid again at 101. In an Instagram video marking his 101st birthday on Thursday, the legendary writer-producer addressed his followers, saying he’s “living in the moment” and “entering his second childhood” as he embarks on his next chapter. “Norman Lear here, dribbling a bit because he’s entering his second childhood,” he said with a laugh. “I have just turned 101, and that is, they tell me, my second childhood.

It feels like that, in terms of the care I am getting. I get the kind of care at this age that I see children getting. And so, I am now a 101-year-old toddler, and I am thinking about two little words that we don’t think about often enough: over and next.

When something is over, it’s over, and we have the joy and privilege of getting on to the next [thing]. And If there were a hammock in between those two words, it would be the best way I know of identifying living in the moment.

That hammock between over and next. “I am living in that moment now, with all of you,” he said. “Bless all of you, and our America.” You can watch the video below.
