poetic reflections on the more of it all and its not all just more of the flabby!!

still life remains a mystery

a smile remains uplifting

a harsh word remains defeating

and rain makes me think of bed

still after all these years

so much remains the same

sits wedged in my cells

like the sun sits in the sky

so predictable...

still I love the warmth of hugs

seeing my beautiful children laughing together

sharing family dinner

still my stomach flip flops when my hubby enters a room

still I cry in sad movies

but yes

some things have changed

I can breathe away my anxiety

I have the detachment of age and

some of its wisdom

I am full of my moments and less full of worries about tomorrow

and I am wider to go around

more saggy and wrinkled to the eye

but most important

I am now the sum total of so much more than before

so much more experience, adventure, heartache, celebration, love, sharing

and learning

and I am so much more aware that I am learning, so much more diligent with

the lessons

That all I can say

is... come on 50th.....I'm looking forward to another

50 years that is!
