Aging Gracefully

In a few weeks from now, I will be turning fifty years old. I cannot believe it! Where did the years go? All of the fun I had when I was younger and living my life are distant recollections. All of my children are grown now, and I have become a grandmother twice. I have been married for 24 years to the same man I fell in love with. Looking back over my life, I have experienced some major events in my life that I thought I was not going to make it through. I have been blessed to see every day of my life, and I hope to see many more. I am grateful to still be here on this side of heaven. Times are tough though, but it is a part of life. I have had days where I just didn't want to get out of bed. I have had days where I thought I was not going to make it. I have had days where it seemed like the whole world was sitting on my shoulders, but I made it through those days with prayer and God on my side.

I remember when my children were little. We had so much fun going places and doing things together, and even when they became older, we still did those things. Today, I am feeling nostalgic. I feel like I have taken a journey back in time, the time of my life. Right now, I am thinking about when I was a little girl who lived in the country going to church on Sunday mornings with my grandmother. I miss those times. She has gone home to be with the Lord, I miss her so much. I wish she were here to see me turn fifty years old., and my brother too.

Nothing about me has changed about my looks, just my weight and age. I can say that I have grown a lot spiritually and mentally. I can say that I am making my dreams come true one day at a time. I cannot wait to see what tomorrow is going to bring for me. My best days are coming, but right now I am going to enjoy every day given to me. Turning fifty and still fabulous.💎🌹🌺.
