The Circle of Life

The Circle of Life aging, an odd space aging can be a struggle see it as your chance to grow or choose to see it as loss, and illness, and strife best lived in grateful dignity June 25, 2019 10am PST

I usually see aging as a blessing, this month it has been such a struggle I can certainly relate to this one, Patti.

Interesting, interesting, very interesting... In the throes of some pretty severe pain, I myself (still) see it aging as a chance to grow--- as well as illness and strife...lived in graceful dignity. Both are important. Thank you for a thought-provoking write, my friend. :) gw

Being a "nana", it's amazing how one either succumbs to pain, or honestly, you go right through it..and come out the better. I prefer to not make a "thing" out of my pain. Hello? It's there~ I accept if. Pain is a teacher, Panagiota )))

Parents begging their kids to stay little and young adults never want to grow old. How blest we are to see our kids grow and to experience wisdom through wrinkles and snowy hair.

Wow, Kim, how right on point, you are! Even more fun when grandchildren are on the scene. All the hair dyes won't make us younger. They are fun, but am not deriding anyone for so doing. Life is really an adventure from day to day, no matter what age you are. Attitude is everything!!! Thanks for your wisdom! Panagiota xx
