Recently, when having a discussion with an older gentleman, we were discussing life and how he wanted to fulfill many things before he dies. Knowing my age, he said I was on the sunny side of sixty, which I thought was funny. Sunny. Sixty. That number!
Sunny side I get, but this sixty number is affecting me the closer I get. How did this happen so quickly? I, too, have things I want to do as he does before the grave. I was twenty one day, then forty and now on the sunny side.
No doubt many of you have felt the same through the years or as the birthday candles increase.
While life has not been too bad, many rough patches came and not to forget the many blessings. Life.
Thankfully, I feel more alive physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually today than I did almost five years ago. It has not been easy going to counseling and opening up and dealing with areas of life and those rough patches. It has been healing though while understanding the whys, questions, and uncertainties as I had to trust my counselor and moreso God.
I do not know what the other side of sixty looks like for me but I’ll be aiming for the sweet side of seventy and will be laughing and having fun along the way.
Lets make the most of our time left here on earth and be a blessing to others. Remember…
Do you ever daydream about, perhaps winning the lottery and what you would do with the millions of dollars? Sometimes, I do and no doubt you do, too. It is just fun.
Yesterday, being April Fool’s Day, I sent pictures of a small, cute house, and several rooms inside, all coordinated that fits the character of the outside and of my personality to my sister with, ‘Look what I did!’ With Google, you can do anything. The dreaming came alive even more.
There have been times in life, I have wanted to forget something that I did or happened because the thought either brought torment, insecurity, embarrassment, etc. No doubt, you also. Things happen in life.
Although the pain, as in my instance recently, I would like to forget in order to ease the pain, but in all honesty, I really do not want to forget. I just want to get through the pain and I will. Plus, I know that their life is woven into mine and always will be, and mine in theirs.
So many facets of my life are connected that I do not want to forget how they all came about. To toss them aside, to delete and block out all of the resources received, learned and love shown, it would be impossible. My life has been and was touched.
Just Pondering...
