- You learn to be gentle with life and yourself.
- Being successful in life looks different - more geared toward looking at the legacy your life is leaving, recognizing the presence of God in every and all moments, recalling all the names you were trying to pull up in a conversation, and finally realizing that you no longer have to be the life of the party just enjoy being there.
- You learn to accept life in life's terms: it is what it is and a mentality that readiness is everything.
- You begin to nurture your inner relationship - how is it with my soul?
- You are no longer guided by your ego but by the spirit within.
- You develop the ability to laugh at yourself - most of the time out loud!
- The dust on the dresser becomes a canvas for creativity.
- You find yourself day dreaming of long walks on sandy beaches with a loved one, movies and popcorn, the warmth of the summer breeze blowing in your face.
I suppose I better understand why folks say that the second half of life is golden. As you go about your day today, no matter what half of life you find yourself in, pause to be aware of God's presence in your midst, mind, and soul.
May the peace of Christ be with you!
