My husband and I will
soon be celebrating our 48th wedding anniversary. We no longer call our
advanced age "old." We have decided to call it gracefully
entering "adulthood." This gives me peace of mind when
I receive phone calls from telemarketer's trying to
sell me more life insurance or a plan for my final days.
Goodness, this Southern
lady might get hit by a truck while doing my 5 mile jog or I might slip
on the diving board while swimming my 25 laps for the day. OK, I'm really not
doing either one of those things, but I guess I could if I at least tried.
Make yourself a bucket
list and try to achieve one of your goals at least once a month.
This will help keep your mind strong, your heart ticking and a pep in your
step. Never let old age creep into your mind and destroy your happiness.
Remember turning that corner into adulthood is a blessing we are given.
There are endless possibilities in this world.
Go out and live your life to the
fullest. It might be writing the next best seller or achieving a goal
of reading a large number of books. It's your choice, but enjoy what
ever path your journey takes you.
