OLD AGE DIFFERENCE

I think I am finally becoming the person I have always wanted to be.My body hasn't quite caught up with me yet, though, and there are a few permanent frown lines left over from my childhood,I'm afraid. I've tried to be just a little kinder to myself, and not so critical of the things I can't do.
As long as I keep my Lord first in my life,I can pretty much do those things I never had time to do! I have witnessed a dear, dear friend, leave this world, way before she ever understood what aging was all about, leaving behind a selfless legacy...........
If I choose to dance to my 50's music, then so be it; or if I have forgotten something important.............Well, then,some things just need to be forgotten anyway! That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!
As the years go by,your heart will get broken.........it just will, but those "breaks" are what build our character and compassion. That's important to me..........and Jesus. I no longer have to frost my hair.God does it for me now, and I love it! I actually do enjoy being an older woman. I don't bother myself with what everybody is thinking, and "on occasion",I let myself be wrong, just to see what it feels like.(HaHa) I can laugh and smile now,without people wondering what I'm up to!
With what time I have left here, on this earth, I will not dwell on the past, nor mourn those who have gone on;nor will I live in the "what could have been, time zone". I will make a difference, in being old..........
But, only, if I remember to take my Lord, and Savior,Jesus Christ, along with me..........He IS the difference!
