Getting Old....er.....

I have really never given much thought to getting older.
It never bothered me that I am aging. I enjoy it, I look back on my life experience and take a deep breath... I MADE IT!!!!
I think about granny and how to me she aged with grace and beauty. I hope that I can do as well as she did.
I think about the years that have gone by, I remember Birthdays that have passed. The great parties that we had as a family. The special cakes that were made. It was a big deal!!!!
I remember sunrises at special places and breakfast with ducks. I remember the day being made into something AMAZING just for me! then Erica of course.
I always feel so special all the attention to detail that mom went through to get me what I needed or had wanted for my special day.
It inspires me to want that for my boys.
I want the smells and sounds of the holidays and birthdays to mean as much to them as it has me. Though I do understand that it is different for boys, memories are all still precious even as you get older.
Old, is a book that is covered in a lifetime of dust. Or furniture that has aged.
Me... I am living... enjoying life... the way it was ment to be!!!!
