What do you think gets better with age?

Life will get better with age, if you’ll let it.

We have a choice. We get to decide.

We can walk gracefully forward in age, or we can fight it, rebel against it, and revel in our youth until it is no more.

We can walk gracefully toward old age, or we can lament and regret all the days gone by.

Walking gracefully into age is not to mean you have to become decrepit and feeble before your time.

It doesn’t even mean to halt all living and die where you stand.

Aging gracefully can be beautiful when done right.

Aging gracefully is actually fighting for what you have with fervor and zeal.

Aging gracefully is grasping reality by the hand and twirling it into a spin that becomes a majestic waltz.

Aging gracefully is letting the tears roll on while breathing in deep the peace that surpasses understanding and the merciful love of eternity.

Aging gracefully is laughing with joy at the days ahead because you are secure in Who holds your tomorrow.

So, dance the dance until it becomes your life.

Embrace the years and savor those precious moments while letting the bad slip through your fingers like sand.

Let the goodness overwhelm you as the sweetness of His glory bursts forth through the pain.

Age gracefully, my friend.

Little ones are watching, and they follow closely behind.

…………

In tribute to my grandmother who was a beauty and aged gracefully till 94. May I follow closely in her footsteps, as well as all who knew her through the years…

…………

She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.
She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.

Proverbs 31:25-26
