Well put once again.Although age can play a dirty trick on us when it comes to the wrinkles and physical pain it's a blessing twofold. I must admit admit that I was a little overwhelmed when I became closer to reaching forty but once that day arrived I a strange awaken that particular day. It may sound cory or cliche' to others but I woke up that morning feeling really good.I have acknowledged a lot of changes within myself and how much I've grown.I even asked someone who was older how am I suppose to feel? I don't feel any different.I've accomplished a lot but I'm still pretty young where I would like to obtain more. I don't look at is as growing old just growing into a better person. They say that maturity comes with age but that doesn't apply to all. I have witnessed lot of people are who for example over 50 and "act like their shoe size" and aren't examples of growing old proud and gracefully.

Very well stated and true. It has been said that age, speaking in terms of "earth days" which I choose to use, whether than birthday is just a number and sometimes an excuse (smile). Yet, we're advised to ponder over how we progress from one stage to another.......on this life journey. From the womb, to infancy, to childhood, to adolescent, to young adult, to mid life, to the golden years, etc. Some are blessed to as one scripture puts it "from knowing much to knowing nothing." Let us all be constant in our gratitude for the time we're blessed to have here in this physical experience and embrace it with all the awe and wonder that it was meant to invite. Make everyday "the first day of the rest of your life." Understanding that no matter what has occurred yesterday, or the many yesterday's before - they're gone, never to return, and that there is absolutely nothing any of us can do to change it. However, you're blessed with the incredible ability (only accessed through faith) to choose to erase those memories from our reality and create a "new reality" for ourselves. Not the one that has been chosen for us by others who define what one needs or should be doing at 18, 21, 25, 30, 40, etc. No, go deep inside, be still, listen, and honor what you want for your life and watch how much less you think and/or worry about "aging" because you'll marvel at your youthfulness and excitment. Choose love, joy, happiness, gratitude, kindness all the time and watch how your life evolves! Love You Son!
