Yesterday driving home I thought of a great topic to blog about but I cannot remember what it was today. I hate that. I had it all worked out in my head but it is gone today.
I find that happening to me more and more. I am no longer the young cute one in the room. My hair is turning gray faster than you can imagine, my face is more and more wrinkled, my skin is drier now. And I think I may have passed the point when I can say that I only need glasses for reading. It is funny how aging affects your body.
But I am more confident in myself now. I am less concerned about what people think of me. I am more assured in the decisions I make and more confident in the outcomes of those decisions. I take more pleasure in the little things and don't wait for the "grand gesture". I tell people what I think more and take every opportunity to tell those I love how much they mean to me.
So my body is showing the negative effects of aging but my mind and personality are showing the positive effects of aging. Kind of ironic, don't you think. Now if I can just remember all the wisdom I have gained growing up, life will be perfect.
