Age is Just a Number

Age is just a number these days. You are as young as you feel. So if you’re still in your twenties but feel as if you are fifty, then you are old! Similarly if you are in your swinging sixties but still feel that you are sweet sixteen, then you are sixteen at heart.

Time always appears to be at a standstill for those who feel forever young. Such people have an advantage over the rest because they are happy and it shows. There is a spring in their step, a smile on their face and they radiate positive vibes.

However, there are others who emit negative vibes and they can drag you down by depleting you of your energy. For them, life is always a round of complaints.

Whichever group you belong to, time still passes by. Have you noticed that for the young and the old, time appears to be spinning past faster and faster each year? Look at this year. It’s already past the halfway mark. June has stolen in stealthily before we are aware of it.

It wasn’t too long ago that we were on the cusp of a new millennium and I remember that many people were very apprehensive of the YK2. Some wondered if all the computers would crash. What would happen to the banks, the aeroplanes? Thank goodness the new millennium came in without a hitch and here we are, already in 2012.

Life is wonderful. Enjoy each day as it dawns and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us and be thankful for family and friends that make our life what it is for we never know when our number is up. There are so many obituaries in the papers each day. Some lived to a ripe old age while others left in the prime of their lives. More saddening are those who left before they had the chance to bloom and realize their potential.
