I am currently looking back at my life as I have always done in a blog I have just started. I look back not to wish I could turn back the clock but to better understand how I could move the clock of my life onward in a way that is more meaningful. <em>GrandmaJulia's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/GBtA/~3/269375331/again-i-craned-my-neck-from-where-i.html' rel="nofollow">Unleashed For Me</a></em> One of the most thought provoking articles on aging I have stumbled upon so far.

Fri, 18 Jan 2008 07:49:44 +0000 http://www.reason4smile.com/2007/12/28/welcoming-aging-with-smile/#comment-269 Hi Jan, thanks for sharing your story, I'm really touched by your story. I'd like to grow old the same way, looking forward to the future with smile, value more people that I have met and connected with in my life. I do recommend the book, Tuesdays with Morrie, it's really about attitude, how a person who is dying can still have a purpose until the end, attitude to look for the good things he had in his life instead of his dying condition. Glad that this article can inspire you to live more fulfilled and enjoyable life. Hope you're closer to your dream this year Wish you well, Robert Hi Jan, thanks for sharing your story, I’m really touched by your story.

I think that's true. I find myself less judgemental and more people oriented as I get older - I value the people in my life more. Everything seemed so normal/will go on for ever when I was younger, now I see how fleeting it all is. Once night I phoned someone who had been my best friend about 20+ years ago. She moved away. It was really late but was one of those things - I found her number on a website by fluke and called. She was apologizing for something and I said none of it matters now - and it really doesn't. I'm just happy to look back and to have had the experience of her friendship, she is a very interesting person! I am finding as I get older that all that matters is the love we give and receive and making sure to take the time to remember this. Everything else falls away sooner or later. I've seen the book Tuesday's With Morrie around but have never picked it up, I will make a point of it. It looks excellent. Your article makes some very good points that I will try to remember. I agree also that life is now, to focus anywhere else is giving our life away. I have found that the best seems to come out of us when we are around death - epitaphs are some of the best writing.

They say that age gives you the beauty that you deserve, because it shows your true character. What a beautiful perspective on ageing!
