Sometimes, I have to admit it. I am getting old. Not that I'm dreading it, but it's sometimes amazing to just look back and notice how much I've changed.
For one, I'm losing my baby fat, look older and I've begun to grow crow's feet around my eyes. I get tired more easily, and bruises take longer to heal. I can't remember numbers as well, and I need a notebook or my trusty PDA to remind me of things to do. If my mind and body were likened to a computer, I feel I'm not running on the latest hardware.
But life goes on, and I'm embracing every moment of it.
For one, I am more aware of what I want to do in life. I am more confident, and know how to deal with difficult situations better. I want to experience life a whole lot more and I'm more game to explore the world.
That is the courage and strength you gather as you experience life with gusto, with all its ups and downs. I get tired once in a while. But knowing that I'm being moulded and groomed along the way makes me look at things in a different perspective. And it makes living life more fulfilling.
Yup, my life is changing, and I'm enjoying it.
