Aging Gracefully?


I'll be 71 years old tomorrow. How did THAT happen? It seems like yesterday that I was a 5 year old starting Kindergarten, a Girl Scout, teenager, bride, young mother, working woman, widow and then a bride again. Life has a way of coming full circle and the later years can be better than the early ones if you can maintain a positive attitude and keep a modicum of good health. Why worry about your age? There's nothing you can do about it! Enjoy every day in this borrowed body, even though the joints ache, the teeth fall out, the hair turns grey...those are badges of courage. The YOU in that deteriorating body will leave someday, grateful to have experienced this earthly plane.
