Welcome 2019! Wow, if the next year passes as quickly as the last, I’m going to need to purchase better running shoes! Time DOES pass too quickly which is why we really need to stop and smell the roses everyday. Getting up in years the way I am makes me realize how fleeting life really is. You get more aches and pains, more unwanted ailments, your children grow and age more quickly than you’d like, more wrinkles appear and, yes, you acquire more flab. But all is not lost. You also gain more wisdom, learn to appreciate the little things in life, enjoy nature, and learn to accept others with whom you once thought you would never get along. I take pleasure in watching birds interact for food at my birdfeeder along with all the squirrels vying for their share. Listening to the wind rustling through the pine trees makes me enjoy the pleasure of the forrest. Seeing the sun gradually shift in the sky with every sunset and sunrise makes me appreciate the blinds in my southern facing bedroom! Life is good and we (I) need to be grateful for all life has bestowed upon us. Every morning I plan to count my blessings and every evening I will compile my gratitude list of the day. Welcome 2019 and here’s to that new pair of running shoes! Cheers!!
