I must get busy this morning. Lots to do. I have to get in my training time in the park, followed by chores. The longer days are helping, as I can get into the park earlier.
But, on a different note; this morning I was reading Time Goes By and a posting all about aging…surprise! Anyway, I had no great wisdom or advice to give. I think it’s all very simple. You can approach aging (elderhood) with curiosity, or with fear and loathing. It’s a choice. I’ve chosen the former and that works for me. And in my volunteer work I deal with lots of elders that have chosen the latter and they are usually quite unhappy.
Sure, there are wrinkles and gray hair or no hair. There are aches and pains. But, if you can learn to view those things as natural; putting yourself in the role of an observer of life and not as a victim of it, it’s really quite fun! Wow! Look at that face in the mirror! How am I ever going to shave around all of those wrinkles without needing a transfusion when I’m through?
