Changes as We Age

Daily writing prompt
What do you think gets better with age?

Being of mature age myself although I look and act much younger. I believe that somethings get better with age. Below are some areas that are from lessons learned.

Wisdom. One sees the world differently because one has lived through it so more understanding of others than before.

Acceptance. One may become more accepting of others than before of realizing no one is perfect and not immune to bad decisions. No one person is better than another.

Forgiveness. Holding a grudge takes a toll on a person mentally and physically so forgiveness is the best medicine to peace of mind either.

Flexibility. Being in tune with your body and mind to be flexible to change your diet and exercise routine.

Maturity. Be happy for others although one didn’t win oneself. Not comparing oneself to others anymore because each of our DNA.

With the internet and technology, I have been able to reacquaint myself to friends who I have known since kindergarten on Facebook where we encourage each other and happy for each other plus pray for each other when needed. We laugh about things that thought was a big deal when we were younger. Someone who recently retired so we shared in her milestone which we celebrated with her and encouraged her on her next chapter. We may not be best friends but we are friends.

Thank you again,

Leslie Elizabeth David.
