Grateful For The Gift

Posted in Other Blogs, Philosophy, Quotes, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , on June 23, 2024| 2 Comments »

Relish every summer day.  Stretch them.  Fill them with memories.  Smile and laugh more.  Gather with friends and visit family.  Put my feet in the water.  Grow things and grill things.  I make my summers count by making them beautiful.  I have no intention of raging against my aging.  I intend to embrace it, to embrace the muscle aches and the crow’s feet as the price of growing in wisdom and grace;  to understand that age is not my body forsaking me but my life rewarding me.
Aging, as I see it, is a gift, and I will receive it with gratitude.
