*a stone set up beside a road to mark the distance in miles to a particular place*
Age is just a number.....once upon a time it would have intimidated me, filled me with such fear that I would hide away from the world for fear of judgment and loathing.
Now, I sit back, look at myself in a mirror......this I find I can do without being the harsh critic I once was, and consider the future....my future.
The issue I have with numbers that mark a certain distance is the fact they don't take into account the journey....the experience....those moments of joy, conversations with strangers, discoveries made when taking a perceived wrong turn in life.
A great age is upon me soon...and I smirk to myself !
I am happier now than I have ever been. For the first time ever, I am comfortable in my own skin, care less about the random thoughts people have about me or my life....after all, it is my life and that has been a wonderful discovery of late.
The number itself has afforded me many possibilities....I can now draw upon my past to teach me about the future.
The richness that fills my life is an overflowing cup.......having a beautiful man to share this with is just one of many aspects of this wealth.
So what ever age or stage you find yourself at in life.....consider this......there is no rule book but your own, go through life creating, being, laughing and sharing.....not destroying, cheating, avoiding and you will find the years slip away unnoticed without fear of the last great adventure ahead of us all.
