I have loved aging, which
surprises me a bit. But, the
alternative isn't attractive.
There are ever so many
plusses, such as watching
your children come to
fruition, appreciation for
those things not noticed
heretofore, slowing down.
I truly enjoy the slowing
down part. "Stop and smell
the roses," is now real to
me. I love simply standing
outside and noticing. It's
truly the first time I have
realized how oblivious
I've been.
I guess the one thing I had
not thought about was loss.
I know my time will come,
obviously. But, I hadn't
pondered the passing of
those around me. Yesterday,
claimed my niece . . . I
simply cannot imagine the
grief her mother, sister,
husband and daughter are
going through.
How to survive? How to
find comfort? How to cope?
I so wish to lend words of
wisdom to my family and
friends . . . and none will
suffice.
I truly thought aging would
bring about wisdom and I
find myself clueless!!!
