"slower, softer, content, caring." You know, I find it so ironic that so many people write about these very things later in life, and the younger generation reads it and understands it, but we don't really GET it until we get there, isn't that right? :) Guess there's no synthesizing experience!'Ailinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00892271030875098852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912102067142499739.post-36959630066318404662010-01-22T09:44:00.562-06:002010-01-22T09:44:00.562-06:00KenV, welcome!

I am indeed grateful God's seen fit to give me so many good things in life, and never do I take it for granted. It's odd how the things we think we need/want in our youth turn out to be just the things we DON'T need/want. I'm learning to look forward to whatever's in store and not pitch a fit about the things I didn't get! lol!'Ailinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00892271030875098852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912102067142499739.post-14460626888046125212010-01-22T09:39:33.937-06:002010-01-22T09:39:33.937-06:00Dan, I had to laugh at your Obi Wan vs. Luke Skywa...Dan, I had to laugh at your Obi Wan vs. Luke Skywalker comparison. It was right on the money. And to be honest, I won't mind looking like the female version of Obi Wan. I think it suits me much better than princess -- royalty requires way too much responsibility!

Like you, I view the aging process as a mixed blessing. I'm slower and softer now than when I was 25, but I'm much more content and caring.<br />Take care.<br />TKTim Koppenhaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15826918532832113432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912102067142499739.post-64294522345185356552010-01-21T15:19:25.953-06:002010-01-21T15:19:25.953-06:00I'll go along with what KenV says.

Just being hones...Hello. Linked over from Laura B.<br /><br />Just being honest here, unless you're profile pic isn't of you, you're very attractive. I don't think you have much to worry about as far as 'looking' old. (Haven't met your personality yet, but if this post is any indication, it's probably more attractive than the outside.)<br /><br />Any good thing you have to give is a gift from God, which makes them priceless.<br /><br />Nice to meet you!3GKnighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06619904623457434103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912102067142499739.post-10089098655020808012010-01-21T11:32:05.622-06:002010-01-21T11:32:05.622-06:00I agree.

Things take longer these days, but going slower doesn't always have to be a bad thing. Time for me to enjoy being a curmudgeon. ;)Dan Weston https://www.blogger.com/profile/06004808405347428353noreply@blogger.com
