Karen’s Korner
- I find that I am closing in on the winter of my life.
- My eyes are not as discerning as they once were,
- my knees tend to make these weird noises,
- and my body doesn’t respond as quickly as it once did.
- My mind is basically the same, it just takes it
- a bit longer to sort through things and remember,
- but, for the most part, it is basically the same
- as it was when I was a lot younger, I think.
- My attitude has changed a bit as well.
- “I can do anything” has been replaced by
- an appreciation for someone who has the
- attitude of “I can do anything.”
- My ideas have also changed a bit.
- They have returned to those simple things,
- that always worked when I was much younger,
- as well as finding ways to simplify my life.
- I will never give up…that’s a safe bet.
- But, the battle never seems to end either;
- and the struggles are a bit more difficult,
- as I wage them daily now……
- The words “tested,” “challenged,”
- “failure” and “success” have a deeper
- and more satisfying, yet bittersweet
- meaning – more today than ever.
- I guess when all is said and done,
- Winter is not so bad,
- because it doesn’t last forever,
- and besides, the best season is yet to come.
