Mine has been rough, but……
God loves me unconditionally.
The love of my life is still the love of my life.
Every time my doggie comes to me, she is happy to see me.
The stillness of the day reminds me of quiet naptime in kindergarten. I loved that time.
The glass chimes barely move but resound sweetly in my ears.
I heard my granddaughter burst into laughter and then yell loudly “I love you grandma”
I remember nestling my children in my arms.
Do I have regrets? No. Regrets are the past, and I am grateful for lessons learned.
The past cannot be changed and so I look onward and upward.
The sixth was my birthday and I do not feel my age. Not even on bad days! This year has been a year full of bad days and pain, but I am grateful to have lived so many lives, and made it through -landing always on happiness and peace.
I am so grateful for all the love that comes to me, and for now having to have the wisdom to know – there must be a reason. I always felt, from the time I was a child, that I was born to LOVE and have FAITH. I knew that was why I was born.
It is so easy to love, and so easy to forgive….I have been forgiven so many, many times!
I am grateful for learning to laugh in the womb with my twin brother. He still makes me laugh.
What a gift it was for me to, I think, be born happy. It was not always easy to stay happy – but I am grateful I knew the choice of pursuing it, and making it grow and blossom was mine.
There is NOTHING wrong with aging. There is nothing wrong with claiming the prize that comes with the trials. There is a peace within me. That “peace beyond understanding” permeates my Spirit.
So I claim my age, in time and space – whatever that age may be!
Judge me if you will, we all are flawed in and disrepair,
We all can improve…..if only a hair.
I find it hard to believe, but I know it’s true, for my brother, my twin, is aging too!
Our age seems a fine number to be.
My mind feels like thirty, I still have that eight year old trapped somewhere inside, I love to play and do so each day.
I stand before God and thank him still – I “could be” an old sourpuss,
with a negative will. But I am not. I am happy and have a soft heart, and still seek all the answers with a strong and fierce intellect.
The only thing missing is a good pan of fudge! Ahhhh, but that can be fixed! CREATE a beautiful day, and a beautiful life.
