I'm not at a venerable age, yet. But with time hurtling by, I'm sure it won't be long. Before everything becomes a complete blur of passings I'm finally learning to be present in my own life.

Probably being closer to the end than the beginning makes me more aware of the moments in the day that are important.

My morning walk has taken on great importance in my day. Not just the physical benefits, but the time spent with me is turning out to be a happy event. I think, I dream, I remember, I listen with a clear ear to the morning sounds before the city wakes up with a deafening noise. The only sounds are the chortles, chirps, natters, warbles, rustling leaves, and the fall of my shoes as they leave invisible footprints in their wake.

Turns out, I like my company. I'm comfortable in my progressively shrinking skin, but mostly I'm happy in my mind and heart.

If that could be bottled and given out would it be a good thing? I don't know. I believe part of the revelation is the journey... so I wish everyone a safe journey full of learning.

Yes V... becoming comfortable with ourselves is a very pleasing "awakening" and one that leads to all sorts of refinements that make us better people.

Years passed, when I busied myself so that I would not have time to think about "me" and "how I was"...

It's a wonderful place to "be"...

The dog even lets me enjoy it peacefully once in a while ;)
 
Well said, Victoria!

and might you have a destination in mind??:porttopor
Age brings refinement, and wisdom, and efficiency...knowing one's goals shortens ones journey, and lengthens ones ability to enjoy, AND understand it!!
