Today I saw two little old ladies, both behind walkers, strolling along together on a busy street. Just happily chatting as they went. As I hurriedly passed in my car, my mind had been full of concerns most of us women have in middle age, “my job puts a lot of pressure on me.” “My skin is sure starting to look saggy.” ” my kids are exhasusting.” “I wish I had more hours in the day.” But as I passed these two smiling seniors I thought, wow. They are joyful just to be able to scoot down the road and to have someone to shuffle with. I should exude so much enthusasm with my tired 40-something self. So today, I will smile because I have someone to shuffle along with in life. I will to be more grateful for what I have. And I will not be in such a hurry. You too! Look around at who’s shuffling along beside you and say, “I’m glad you are in my life.”
