Thoughts from over the border of middle age

The other day  I was waiting for the instructor of my exercise class to show at 5:30 in the morning.... before I go any further with this story I know some of you are thinking, 5:30am-who does that? Believe me, I do only because if I jump out of bed in the morning and get dressed and go I don't have time to think of excuses. . It is a similar philosophy to brushing your teeth but the clean feeling lasts all day... anyway, the instructor walks in and I say cheerfully, good morning, how are you? and she says, uncheerfully, I don't know I just woke up and came here. Nothing has happened yet. 

My first thought to that response was, ok, I can understand that. It is 5:30 after all. But then I thought, wait!! You woke up! That is definitely something!  I know we take that part for granted. Some might even ask why are you mentioning this, it happens every day. Yes, if we are lucky, it does. There are plenty of everyday things I take for granted and I am working on really looking at the daily gifts. My cup of coffee and newspaper every morning, my stretching that helps with all my creaks, lunch with girlfriends, my reading glasses that come in every color for every room in the house, my husband filling in the nouns as I try to explain something I saw and the text string between my sister's family, my brother's, my mom and mine from all over the country as we put our 2 cents in on some new technology that only my younger brother understands. I am grateful that I woke up this morning and can look at life from the middle plus and smile at the changes occuring around me and within me. It's a good lens to look through.

What are your daily gifts?

Middle age is probably the most critical part of life. Because I am one of them. My idea of middle age is that you are becoming older and older. But your perspective in life is so fascinating. I am really glad that you think of that way. I hope that you could post more of like that so you can encourage more people who feels a lot of insecurities in life. I am so excited to read about it. Thank you so much for your good deed.
