I have been thinking a lot
about this very subject. We are, after
all, a society that enjoys instant everything.
Whether that is our puddings, potatoes, oatmeal or gratification, we
want it now!
I have to admit, I am not the
most patient person in the world. I
don’t like to stand in lines. I get
impatient at red lights, and I don’t find any pleasure in waiting in a doctor’s
office for my appointments.
And yet, I do feel my life
has not been one brick at a time, but in fact one pebble at a time. And this, I am okay with.
I used to listen to famous
people as they got older talk about how they wouldn’t change all the knowledge
and wisdom they have accumulated over the years to be young again.
I would listen and say,” Yeah,
sure, what are they talking about.” I
knew young is the best. Now that I have
reached that age myself, I finally get
it. I am not saying I wouldn’t want some
of the energy back. And it would be nice
if some of my body parts were back in their original place. But, I do have to
admit - I love where I am in my life.
Perhaps I feel closer to the
saying, “No wine before its time.” Or,
“Aged to perfection.”
No matter where you are in
your journey, learn, appreciate and enjoy.
Because one day you will look back and you will wonder if you made the
most of that time.
