Wear Your Years With Style

"Years are only garments, and you either wear them with style all your life, or else you go dowdy to the grave." - Dorothy Parker, writer, poet, and critic

Aging is not always an easy process. Some people even talk themselves into feeling older than they really are because they focus on what is not the same anymore rather than on what they have gained over the years. We learn from our life experiences and we can share our lessons with others. We do not have to stop learning, growing, and enjoying life just because we are of a certain age. Life is meant to bring us joy and happiness.

Our perceptions can dictate our attitudes and our attitudes will usually dictate how our experiences are going to turn out. When we see everything in a negative light, we do not usually have room to perceive events in a positive way. There is a way to seek and find the positive side in anything and everything we live through. As we grow older, we either get better at finding the good or we are doomed to become sour and miserable. The choice is ours to make. What will you choose to do?

Today I will appreciate my years, I will seek out the positive in everything I do, and I will remember that my life has been blessed many times over. I am grateful.
