JUST FOR TODAY - August 2013
Being in the SUMMER of my life, at the age of 51, my sense is that in the WINTER of our life the view is very different. Yes, there is the Autumn to prepare for Winter, yet the changes of the seasons of life are surprisingly quick. Life does not come with any guarantees. There will have been disappointments as well as failures - there will also have been celebrations and successes. The only certainty in life is: God willing, if we are privileged, we all grow old. When the time has come, where you look mostly to what HAS BEEN instead of what is to come – and our physical body has (as my father says) run out of spare parts – we need to be brave and strong. To grow old gracefully, I believe, is one of life’s greatest challenges. To get through the hardest journey in life, we need to take only one step at a time – but we MUST keep on stepping! Each one of us is a unique God’s creation. That YOU is ageless. Regardless of the season you are currently in. We all need to live in acceptance of what has been and what is now. The art of living in the NOW….. this is when you really KNOW that you are alive…..this is when you feel that JOY to be alive!!!! Only then are we able to see the gift of being alive….. Just for today – let me notice that I am still me – regardless of what my body has become. My soul is ageless – my spirit can soar and sing and dance and fly…..if I choose this today! Just for today!
