A man in our ward died this week. He was old. He lived a good life. It made me think and this is what I thought. I don't mean to be depressing, I'm just thinking.
It's easy to grow old
You don't even have to try
No one is better at it than anyone else
No one can stop it or make it go away.
Some fight it
It's funny to watch them try
Some ignore it
and pretend it isn't happening
Some simply refuse to except it!
Some embrace it
and actually seem to enjoy it.
I don't believe them.
Growing old is weird
No one seems to talk about it
More wrinkles, more gray, more sleeping...
or is it less sleeping?
Thinking more about vitamins.
Thinking more about death....hmm
I don't think it is all bad
Life is fun and there is so much to learn
Being a Mom is great
Grandma sounds even funner
Great, Great, Great, Grandma...We'll see.
I can't fight, ignore it or embrace it
I think I'll just deal with it
One day at a time
One step slower
One day older
Is that a WHISKER??

Well said. It is so true... too true! And by the way - not morbid at all! Just facts!
