Being comfortable with growing older....

I'm not exactly sure what I think about turning 60 today, but this I do know...

It is a privilege, a blessing, and a welcome milestone!

 I know far too many who haven't had the chance to live this long, 

so I will embrace "60", and continue to enjoy life, knowing that we are never promised another day.

I thought I would say a few things that are on my mind about aging and turning 60

*It feels just like 59, haha

*I won't be a senior citizen until I can take advantage of the discounts!

*I still don't have to color my hair... but I'm guessing it won't be long.

*I still get told often that I can't possibly be old enough to have grandchildren, 

(this is probably the best thing to hear from strangers who don't know me, mainly my patients).

*As far as the lines in my face... 

"Wrinkles should merely indicate where the smiles have been" ~Mark Twain

* Growing older is a gift, but I thought it would take longer.

*The biggest lie I tell myself, is "I don't need to write that down, I'll remember...NOT!

*Getting up now involves making sound effects.

*I talk to myself more.

I love this quote...

 

God has given me much!

 I'm thankful for his selfless love and example of how I should live my life.

 I'm a work in progress and He's not done with me yet. 

I have much to learn and more growing to do. 

I will continue to seek His face for He is my now and forever. 

Here's to many more years of this crazy life. 

Happy Covid  Birthday to me.
