Unconditional Love

It’s just a number when you say it. But it’s the number of years I’ve been on this earth. Where did the time go, as I look at the number on my screen I still can’t believe I’m that old. I’m not saying it in a bad way, because in no way, shape or form do I feel fifty three, at the most I feel like I’m twenty five.

I’m writing about this today because it hit me last night, I’m a wife of 31 yrs, married more than half my life, I have two adult children, I have four grandchildren, and I’m in my “Golden Years” as they call it. I’m over half way to one hundred. As I sat and thought about it, I’ve been through a lot in my fifty three years of life and I’m still standing strong and ready for the next fifty three.

We are all given a life to live and even though it’s been really rough some years, here I am. I used to think about what’s my purpose here? Why was I given such a difficult life? How come I can’t have it all like most people? Well, last night I realized I do have it all, I have what I need, I love what I have and we are going to be okay.

My life used to be filled with I wish I could, I wish I had this or that, I wish it was easier and I think that made me a little resentful of what others had or were doing. But as I thought about things and came to a realization that I am okay, I’m where I’m suppose to be here and all that we are and have been through is what was suppose to happen. This is my life and I accept it.

So when you look at your number, remember it’s just that. Live life not matter what is thrown your way. Make the best of EVERY situation and 53 is just that, a number.
