New World, Older Body

Aging as the world around you changes, and accepting it.

I’m old enough to know better, to feel pain in unfamiliar places, and to chase relevance in a world that moves faster than many of my age can follow.

My faith in God runs deeper. Letting go of my children is a tender truth, and loneliness, surprisingly, has become a quiet companion.

Still, I wouldn’t trade today for yesterday or tomorrow—because I’ve learned to live in the now. And living—truly living—is good.

Gratitude and thankfulness of old age.
