Aging is multifaceted. Sometimes we needlessly worry.
Just last week I was
scheduled for a CT scan with iodine that should take 2 ½ hours.
My anxiety had increased
when I arrived for the test. I was full of questions. Will it really take that
long and what about the iodine? To my surprise I was told, “It will only take 5
minutes and you do not need the iodine. Next I was scheduled to have a
pulmonary procedure which turned out to be equally as simple. What a waste of
time worrying. That is the peril of
aging.
However, there are
parallels that come with aging bodies. How do we maintain our balance and
standing to decide the final chapters of our life. At eighty nine I realize how much I have not
learned. I still have to accomplish the unfinished projects and dreams. I have
manifold blessings, my fellow of almost sixty eight years, my caring children
with their own devoted marriages, grandchildren carrying on the traditions of
love, and four great grandchildren. These
are the joys of aging.
