You know me: NO TOXIC POSITIVITY HERE. Just the plain truth about getting older:
Aging sucks.
But it’s also a gift. Aging is maturing, growing up, learning new stuff, serving others, having fun, being present, being thankful. Aging for many means grandchildren!
WOW! I sure wasn’t living this way as 20 something or a 40 year old!
- Every day we have the chance to “get life right”.
At 20 I was selfish and didn’t care about personal growth. - Every day we have the opportunity to live a purpose driven life. At 30 I had no purpose. I was a big hot mess.
- Every day we get a shot at making amends for dumb mistakes we made last week or five years ago. At 40 no way was I going to admit I was wrong.
- Every day we can make the world a bit better than it was yesterday.
Thank God I am not the same as I was when I was 20, 30 40.
AGING IS A GIFT.
