Ramblings About Age

Well, its been several days since I've done anything on this blog.  I initially started it to help promote my work and  to also show others how they can create similar items.  I haven't  proceeded very far with it yet. Age has caught up and overtaken my thoughts lately

The weather is changing for the better, in my limited opinion.  The warm springish weather seems to bring out the best in everyone.  It seems to bring out more happiness in people and better health.  It was an easy winter weather wise but terrible on the health of so many of my peers.  I am 51 years old and most of the time I don't feel it.  Except , perhaps, when I crawl out of bed...it takes a while to get the spring in my step.

Two of my friend's  have had heart attacks in the past year and a bit and as if that wasn't enough, one of those two has now been diagnosed with lymphoma.  Another friend was rushedtothe hospital unconcious with a mysterious  illness that doctors have been unable thus far to diagnose.

There have been neighbors and others that aren't as close to me that have also had serious health problems recently as well.

One of my friends recently said she is not afraid of death, just the process.  I'm inclinded to agree. I haven't asked her if she has changed her view now that she has been diagnosed with lymphoma.

Although mentally I still feel like 20, it is a bit of an awakening to my own mortality and health as I age when I hear of so many with serious health  problems.  I believe I will shilft my focus now to more positive things.  I will enjoy every day that I am here and every moment with my family and friends.  I will especially rejoice in my grandchildren!
