Something that set in stone my recent feelings after abandoning my blog and my few readers (you being one of those cherished virtual souls) for 8 months with nary an explanation.

I think one of the things that comes with getting older is realizing that things tend to work out in the end and you have to still enjoy life while things aren't working out perfectly.

My hollow legs seemed to have filled in at last. I suppose I have become more conscious of the skin I'm in as I have got older.<br /><br />I have been blessed with a (reasonably) calm personality and apart from the odd wound up moments, I take most things in my stride, I'm not conscious of any particular change there as I have got older. In fact the real sea change for me was the awakening of my faith and access to God's patience, gentleness, peace, joy and self control, whatever the circumstances. That was nearly 30 years ago now.<br /><br />The most delicious means are those that blend bitter and sweet, sour and salt - life is good, even the challenging bits!<br /><br />Take care<br /><br />:DomDominic de Mattoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05171145945316152596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911067505461648404.post-45778222621500065792011-08-13T12:08:47.888-04:002011-08-13T12:08:47.888-04:00I loved this: I kind of feel like saying, "Br...I loved this: I kind of feel like saying, "Bring it on." You're so right. As we get older, we fear life's trials less and less. We know we can get through them. I went through a huge trial in my life 5 years ago. My daughter said, "Mom--you never even cried." I told her that I was now old enough to learn that bad things are a part of life, but they are not the only part and we can't identify ourselves by the negativity going on around us.<br /><br />Excellent post, Kelly. I need to get myself to the pool too. Can you believe I have not been to the pool even once this summer?

I used to panic at the first problem; now I step back and try to look at things more rationally. Like you, I am the emotional one. Fifty years of life's lessons has toughened me up.
