Never take someone for granted
Hold every person close to your heart
Because you might wake up one day
And realize that you've lost a diamond
While you were too busy collecting stones.

About Me:
I am now, probably for the first time in my
life, the person I have always wanted to be. Oh, not my body! I sometime despair over my body, the wrinkles, the baggy eyes, and the sagging butt. And often I am taken aback by that old person that lives in my mirror (who looks like my mother!), but I don't agonize over those
things for long.
I would never trade my amazing friends, my
wonderful life, my loving family for less gray hair or a flatter belly. As I've aged, I've become more kind to myself, and less critical of myself. I've become my own friend.
I don't chide myself for eating that extra
cookie, or for not making my bed, or for buying that silly cement gecko that I didn't need, but looks so avante garde on my patio. I am entitled to a treat, to be messy, to be extravagant.
I have seen too many dear friends leave this
world too soon; before they understood the great freedom that comes with aging.
Whose business is it if I choose to read or play
on the computer until 4 AM and sleep until noon?
I will dance with myself or with a another man that is not my husband, to those wonderful tunes of the 60&70's. If I, at the same time, wish to weep over a lost love .. I will.
I will will drink beer and walk the beach in a swim suit that is stretched over a bulging, tattoo body. Despite the pitying glances from the young people. They, too, will get old.
I know I am sometimes forgetful. But there
again, some of life is just as well forgotten. And I eventually remember the important things.
Sure, over the years my heart has been broken.
How can your heart not break when you lose a loved one, or when a child suffers, or even when somebody's beloved pet gets hit by a car? But broken hearts are what gives us strength and understanding and compassion. A heart never
broken is pristine and sterile and will never know the joy of being imperfect.
I am so blessed to have lived long enough to have
my hair turning gray, and to have my youthful laughs be forever etched into deep grooves on my face. So many have never laughed, and so many have died before their hair could turn silver.
As you get older, it is easier to be positive.
You care less about what other people think. I don't question myself anymore. I've even earned the right to be wrong.
I like being old.
It has set me free. I like the person I have become. I am not going to live forever, but while I am still here, I will not waste time lamenting what could have been, or worrying about what will be. And I shall eat dessert every single day. (If I feel like it!)
Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance!!!
