Make-Over

I'm 68 years old.  My friends probably range in age from 50 to 80 years old.  As you age, things physically change in your body.  Consequently you start hearing things like:

          It's hell getting old.

          I'm falling apart.

          It's no fun getting older

          ...and on...and on...and on.

As I wrote in my blog, "A Light In The Darkness" a couple of weeks ago, I just got over sun poisoning.  I've never had it before in my life.  I also have back issues off and on since my automobile accident several years ago.  I have glaucoma and my hearing is dimming.

Now I could be one of those people who complain about all that, but instead I AM SO GRATEFUL that I live in a time when really, none of those things are a big deal.  I have hearing aides to help with my hearing loss.  I have exercises to help my back.  I have eye drops for the glaucoma. 

Attitude is everything and I'm still very excited about life!  Instead of focusing on all that is going wrong, I prefer to focus on all the wonderful things that are going right in my life.  I don't see it as falling apart.  I see it as getting a make-over.

Love,  Paula
