RE: Late Night Reflections... and Reminiscence (Ulog No. 11)
I am closing in on my "golden years"....and find as one gets older one faces more mental and physical challenges....I truly relate to the reality when one suddenly realizes they have a lot less quality time ahead of them than they left behind....
One of the few benefits I find with aging is one has to shrug their shoulders more often since the mental and physical energy to "do it all" isn't there....
Fortuately....I have been involved with a program that suggests things like...serenity is a state of mind and one can find it despite what's going on around them....and in these fast paced days....I use that thought regularly....I've learned to enjoy small moments....joys....peace....as simple as being greeted by my purring kitten in the morning....
We often try to bite off and chew too much of life....I am learning to appreciate smaller portions...try not to let the "have to's" grind me down...enjoy moments like this reading another human's thoughts as they too ponder their existence and meaning while the clock ticks on....
This type of picture reminds me of peaceful moments...
I like the picture of the cat @bobreedo! I find watching cats sleep to be a great consolation in life. And they remind me to not take my own plight too seriously.
My wife and I are both increasingly dealing with the challenge of "we're not 29 anymore" and it's harder on some days than others... and we're learning to shrug more often and not worry so much about being able to do everything that was on the "to do list" that morning.
Glad you enjoyed picture and happy to hear you have learned the importance of finding time to "catnap"....lol.
