Well, on February 5th, I was fortunate enough to add another year to my age. What a great blessing. I am not sure why people want to deny their age but to me it is something to be celebrated. The celebration is not just for one day but should go on for a few days (we deserve it).
I found that in celebrating my birthday I am celebrating life and focusing on something that is positive. It is important to think on those good things in life and not dwell on what we might not think is good. This is just one more thing to add to my list of blessing (an increase in the number of years). When I tried to list all of those blessings, I found I just couldn't list them all because there are more than I can even account for and that's just fine with me.
With this new age, I have embraced it. I find that I do more thinking as I get older. I do more observing than talking. I do more quiet time than in the crowd time. I have done more laughing than crying (although crying is still okay to do). I am so happy with this life. I would not trade it with anyone else.
How do you feel about aging? Do you embrace it or want to run from it (even though you can not escape it)? Let's celebrate life. Let's enjoy each day, even if there are some bumps in the road. I know who created the road so I'm not worried!!!
