Aging gracefully

We live in a society that values youth. There are so many positive aspects of youth including seeing the world as new and full of opportunity. We are filled with energy and a vitality for life. As time passes our bodies undergo changes. We somehow confuse thinking young with looking young. We are bombarded with messages about ways to stave the passage of time. We seek miracle creams, surgical procedures, and injections to roll back the years. If we were to live our lives fully and embrace our years, we might look at aging differently. We may look at the fact that the life energy within us is ageless. It existed before we began this specific lifetime and will continue beyond it. There is no need to fear or resist the effects of the external physical changes that take place. What truly matters is what we are developing within. What are you doing today to age gracefully within?
