I celebrate my birthday in September each year, which coincides with the changing of the seasons, the passage of time.
This September, I celebrated 60 years of life on this earth.
Sixty years is not extraordinary, yet I am amazed that I don’t FEEL like I’m 60 years old. In my mind, I’m still that young girl making her way through life, day by day, still looking for the good, still searching for what I’m supposed to be doing, still trying to figure out the meaning of life.
Maybe you feel this way too. Maybe you are approaching 30, or 45, or 50 trips around the sun. Birthdays, like seasons, continually mark the passage of time.
Maybe you feel like time is running out. This is an illusion. Time continues, life goes on. We all wish time could stop. It is my hope for all of us to learn to appreciate each moment, wherever we are, and to embrace the richness of each new season.
Every year adds wisdom wrinkles adventures challenges beginnings endings wins losses friendship blessings love overflowing Every day is a chance to start fresh to try again to keep going to begin noticing to bless someone to share laughter to truly give to really live to love with all your heart
