Today I reflected on the thought that I am soon to be another year older. Even though I do not feel a day over sixteen or sometimes over twenty-one my body definitely feels the years that I have been alive.
I sometimes rehash the same memories from my younger years or even have the same feelings, but my aging adult outlook has changed from the inexperience I had once. My eyes may be open wider from lessons I have learned or even mistakes I have made, but my mind stays young with hope.
As long as I can remember I have and always will hope the best in people no matter how many have scorned me. I will always have some faith in things I cannot see like God or in some shape or form Santa. I will always cherish the innocence my eyes see as I appreciate things from my childhood even though many adults will believe I need to 'grow up.'
So for another year to be added to the chapter book of my life I call it appreciation because for once I feel I can call off the troops to relax a bit and instead of blocking people out allowing them to let me inside their lives or their world. I still wish to travel to countries beyond the extension of my vehicle and I still desire to live in a fantasy world world, but for me ....maybe another year older is not so bad after all.
