Sun Rise, Sun Set…

I just got back from walking down my street all bundled up in my jammies, robe, wool hat, a coat of my dad’s and a pair of his gloves with my cup of coffee to watch the sun come up. It is chilly out and I know I look like a site in my colorful garb. It is a good thing it is early and a Saturday and not many people are out! But then at this age I really don’t care much what people think. That is one of the many relieving things of being in my 50’s! I can be all that I am and not be embarrassed and self critical of my humanity as I once was for so much of my life. Thank goodness for that!

I heard a wise owl or two hooting back and forth. I generally think it a special day when I get to listen to one of them share their tune with me. And the sun was beautiful of course as it filled the sky with color. I hated to see it rise in a way as that meant that experience was over for one more day.

That was until I turned around to head back home and got to watch the colors of the sun bounce off the tree tops and branches and light up the woods with its splendor. And then arriving home I was able to soak in my very pretty spring bulb garden bursting with color and happiness. And so was I. All a part of the plan!

What benefits do you notice from being the age you are now?
