"I feel the years in my bones...
the aged wisdom of my soul,
but my spirit has a youth that
time and pail will never touch."
~A. Shea
I still stand tall, walk a fine
stride, but my knees hurt
worse than child birthing.
I consider aging a gift from
the universe; make no mistake.
All you have to do is consider
the alternative.
Alas, I no longer cook like
I used to. Standing too long
makes my back ache. I don't
go on long walks and climbing
gentle hills is simply not going
to happen any time soon.
But I love for fam and friends
to show up, telling tales out of
school and sharing snacks and
beer.
I delight in finding the odd card
in the mailbox and responding.
I love my son's visits and my
daughter's phone calls.
The wheel of life is challenging,
but ever so interesting . . .
