A PERSPECTIVE ON AGE

A PERSPECTIVE ON AGE

Do not regret growing older, it's a privilege denied to many! This is a powerful proverb to start with, so true, but so rarely thought about. Having turned 58 this past year, it's a saying that hits home very powerfully, and yes, maybe it is aimed at the baby boomers and above. But even if you are 25 and reading this, it applies. Whatever your age, consider for a moment the people from your life that are dead today. How many were younger than you? That's when this proverb hits home, when you realise how lucky you are to be the age you are, and healthy. Consider two people in their seventies, one still drives a car and enjoys life, the other has Alzheimer's and needs to be under 24/7 care and supervision. If you are fit and mentally healthy, I suggest you give thanks and smile for every morning you wake up alive and healthy. A perspective on age.
