I walk slower............. Parts on my body hurt for no reason at all............. I get tired a lot earlier than I used too ................ I can see wrinkles now where there used to be flawless skin................... I will never be as thin as I used to be................... I have to turn the tv up a little louder now.................
However
Getting older isn't all that bad
I am more patient now............ I put others before myself............ I believe things without having to see them first........... I am raising the most beautiful daughter in the world who amazes me daily.......... I find strength in the unknown............ I have learned to laugh at myself............
The holiday season is passing before my eyes and I haven't even caught my breath. Life does that sometimes... With just one blink..... everything changes. I want to push the slow motion button and have a chance to see the beauty that surrounds me. I don't want to fall asleep at night for fear that I am losing out on time. In movies, I have seen a single person standing still and hundreds of people crossing back and forth, quick as can be, but that one person is paused in time. Like someone pushed a button on their universal remote. I want to rewind to the kind words I hear, I want to make life move in slow motion so that I can make sure I don't miss a thing. In this moment, I am reminded of how important friends and family are. That time spent with the people you love is what you can take with you anywhere.
