I turned 65 this year. I really love the grace of aging. My hair is very silver and suddenly it’s extremely curly and thick just like it was when I was a teenager! I love the lines around my eyes. It’s as though I smile with my whole face now! Within me there is a peace I have been waiting all my life for. It wakens me softly. And later makes me tired so that sleep claims me easily. And in between, I explore for what I did not have time for before. I am baking sourdough bread! I’m learning how to cook Chinese meals. I’m taking lessons in Spanish. I’m building a huge raised bed garden with a greenhouse.
It’s interesting because in other parts of my life there were complications and strife. Not so here at 65. I am so grateful where I am at this age….
