beauty of aging



was listening to a BBC documentary on aging today and i was so impressed by what eighty one year old Edith Eva Igar had to say. She expressed her delight at reaching such an age where she does not have to please people. I am much younger than she is but i kind of connect with her on that statement. I do not usually bother with people's opinion on issues regarding my personal life. I try as much as i can not to infringe on the rights of others but i do not care much about what they may have to say on things that are not directly connected to their lives. Eva is a woman who is having a ball.According to her, every new day is a gift. So i find it odd when people feel uncomfortable about revealing their ages.I look a bit younger than my age but i know it will be ungrateful of me to say that i am younger than my age.Ungrateful to God for giving me such a beautiful life. I get jittery like any other person when i notice signs of aging but it is only a temporary feeling. i realize how lucky i am to experience all the years that i have and i will not have it any other way.
