What a profound post. It made me stop and start thinking about each of my sons and what they might be like around age 80, if they reach that old. It was a pretty funny mental picture and it made me glad I will not be here to observe and worry.

Well as we age we learn to depend less on what others think, care less whether we are one of the "in group". We grow as individuals. We learn to speak our truth which the youth considers an embarassment. Who cares?

The comment about your days don't just have a beginning and an end is so true for me right now. So many things to do, but often at others timeline. Frustrating when you have goals you have to meet. Lovely Post. So far not losing my mind and thats a miracle. Making friends with pain has been hard to adjust to. I talk to my pain and often ask it to hold off and heal.

To all who commented
Oh how I love your comments. It makes me take a variety of different looks at myself to see what I do and do not know. Hopefully you have encouraged me to learn more and more and never give up until I give out.

Oh dear one there truly is. Nothing is more profound than the wisdom that you feel straight from the Holy Spirit as I think of things I had no way of coming to such conclusions. It is His will. Thanks for reminding me.

The one release for me is that when the doomsters proclaim this and that by the year umpteen I know I won't ber here. I worried so much about the World running out of food by the 21st century, the end of the World and our rivers in Australia running red with the Blood of Christians in the 1980's of Communists destroying the World, of the Nuclear bomb....well here I am with my love and my Faith and the World can just go by...And our CHildren? Well one day they will know how we felt.

Agreed! We should embrace any age - when we're children and playing, adolescent and learning, adult and learning some more, then old age when what we relelct on what we have learned (and sometimes use it
)...and keep learning IF if we wish. If not, it's the perfect excuse to let it all go.

I have learned a lot during my time on earth, and I know that I will be learning a whole lot more.

You make some absolutely profound observations! But of course we know there's something really starnge about us humans: Thinking back - as a teenager I knew absolutely everything! Then, as I got older, and thought I was learning things, I actually knew less and less! The day will probably come when I know nothing at all...

Old age a blessing and a curse? Okay, I can see that. But, as you well know, with age comes wisdom. Some people have to learn things the hard way, always thinking that they're right, and their parents are probably wrong. I don't have children, so that part of it I don't have to deal with. But, I do recall some of the 'life's lessons' my parents tried to impart to me! And ya know what? They were usually right! Enjoy your wisdom . . .
