Thankful For Having Grown Older

May we be blessed to acknowledge all the wonders in our life
that have, for us, thus far accrued…
and to begin each day with a word of thanks…
and thoughts of gratitude.

Today I’m thankful for having grown older
Because:
if we’re fortunate to climb the mountain of age
even though our youth is irretrievable
and we may get a little more out of breath these days
The view from here…is unbelievable.
