Today I am reflecting on July.
Thinking back one year,
five, ten, twenty-five,
thirty-five years ago.
I was a young woman planning her wedding.Thinking back one year,
five, ten, twenty-five,
thirty-five years ago.
I had dreams and wishes.
I was excited.
For that I am grateful.
Others I am still working on.
There are things I would have done differently.
Not regrets, just lessons learned.
I am grateful for that.
These past thirty-five years have not been in vain.
I do not think I could ever fit again into my wedding dress.
I do not think I would want to.
I like remembering what I looked like as a young 19 year old.
I like seeing what I look like as 54 year old.
I like the dream and the wish for what 55 looks like.
I like my morning walk.

I like a lot of things too. And I wouldn't change my past, though not all of it was good. I learned from it and that, I think, is the reason we are all on this journey.
Hugs,

Nice. I guess the nice thing about getting older (I'm 49) is the perspective you can get on your life.
Good Morning Laurie,
I agree. Learning to be kind and gracious, regardless of the situation, is part of this life's journey.
As I grow older and am taking care of my body I realize how incredible the body is!
I am celebrating I even have a body! I have neglected it for too long.
Time for lotion and walking shoes.
Thanks for walking with me.
Nameste,
Sherry
Good Morning Rhea,
Yes, if we take the thinking time, every now and again, to reflect on our yesterdays, I believe we can have perspective. I also think we have the opportunity to choose what is important. I am in the process of letting go of items. I am over itemed!
It is a nice time in my life to do this as I also am letting go and using up extra pounds I have gained!
Slim and trim!
Sherry
