I would bet you are thinking this will be about the weather or the seasons...Well, I don't think so, but I haven't yet decided what I should blog about today. "The" season is officially upon us, but I don't dare say too much about H---------...ah, you know--those big storms they name....yeah, "that" season!" I wouldn't want to be blamed for jinxing this year with bad weather. So, let us talk about something else.....entirely!
2010 is moving rapidly along and will all too soon be gone. The older I get, the more quickly time passes. I go to bed at night and wake up a couple of years older, it seems. Actually, when I went to bed last night I was only about 30 or so. I'd had my little "younguns" running about my feet all day. Upon awakening this morning, however,--alas, the babes were grown, and I appeared to be a tad more "mature" than when I went to bed.
I hear tell age is merely a state of mind. Well, that means I am about 6 years old...for that seems to be my state of mind much of the time. My body, however, denies that and feels as if I am, oh, 40 "or so."
How old would I like to feel? I would say 24 years is a good all around age to be. It is an age when you should be old enough to make good sound decisions and young enough to enjoy, endure, and press forward.
But, whatever the truth may be, I refuse to think I am in the Autumn of my life. My leaves may have turned a few different colors in the past few years, and they my shed on occasion, but like good cheese and fine wine, I only improve with age.
Just because the "character" shows around my eyes and in the smile lines of my face, there is no reason to think I am old. I merely wear my wisdom etched in my facial expression. My experience has settled in my lower back and in other joints of my body, but old, oh no, that is not old. It is wisdom, it is experience, it is patience, it is love. Perhaps, I have reached the summer of my life, so maybe, just maybe, I am filled with light and sunshine like a warm summer day. So when you think about me being "full of it," please think of me as being full of these things instead of what you are really thinking!
Just remember this:
Gallantry like chivalry is not dead--but both are sorely ailing and deep abed.
So I offer to you my bravest (k)night as my days are filled with work afright.
To you all I bid fond adieu, with hosts of angels to watch over you.....
....ohs 2005
