Yesterday is gone, but just yesterday I was talking with a 20-year old young man. He was full of energy and vigor especially since he was dancing and singing! He tried to get me to join him in dancing with music of Michael Jackson, Earth, Wind and Fire and the Commodores. However, I felt a bit worn. "I can't"... I said...I'm old." He refused to hear what I said, so he kept trying to get me out of my seat. "Not today...I'm a bit tired." So I began thinking..."What do I wanna be when I get old?" Do I wanna be in a rocking chair?, or laying in bed watching television for hours? Do I wanna sit on my porch and sigh?, or do I just want to rest?
I hadn't thought about it much before, but I don't really feel I'm growing old even though those little kick-up of aches reminds me I'm going somewhere with that. I really don't mind it much...growing old is beautiful. Less worry, less stress, and even less things to take care of. If I'm in "good mind" I think I wanna be that when I get old. To have a good mind --to know who people are that care for me...and good mind to thank God for my life. That rocking chair sounds good too!
What do you wanna be when you get old?
