The aging process sure is interesting. For the most part society tries to make us feel that we need to try to retain our good looks for as long as possible. No one wants to look like they are circling the drain too soon.
But how can we deny ourselves the luxury of using what we have learned? After all we have had the opportunity to live through experiences that taught us lessons right?
There is a certain amount of peace that comes from being grateful for your age. Aging is a gift. There are many people that do not get to live out that gift due to illness or accidents. Consider yourself fortunate when your eyes open each day and you are given another 24 hours to explore your opportunities and share your gifts with the people that you come in contact with.
Another good thing about aging; you can start to recognize that you have been where some people are just starting to go, and you can be grateful that you already learned that lesson once. We are meant to continue to experience life and share good times with people we care about.
So be grateful that there are some “ages” that you have passed (and survived). Now you have the luxury of being better and smarter…so use those gifts! “Now, let’s get going!” xo Sally
