I’ve always dreaded the thought of aging. But now that I am reaching that ‘certain age’ I find that you truly are only as old as you feel. During our travels we’ve met more talented, creative, active, ALIVE people then I’ve ever known. These are the same people that I suspect most young folks would write off as over the hill. We’re having more fun now then in our entire lifetime. The secret we’ve learned is ‘being aware of and savoring each moment.’
We were invited to a pot-luck this evening. They fixed fried chicken and everybody brought a dish. The fellows had spent the morning putting up a tarp. When the afternoon thunder storm came…we were cozy underneath it. The food, as always, was delicious. We listened to country music and talked…and danced.
On this business of aging…it doesn’t look so unusual to see a couple dancing except when you realize it’s out in the pouring rain and they are laughing from the sheer joy of it.
