Your humble blogger began a new trip around the sun yesterday and it's a milestone one. I'm now officially in my mid 40s. As the subject of aging has been hot in the internet sphere lately, the phenomenon has compelled me to share some feelings in contemplating it.
To begin with an oft said point. aging is a blessing. Personally, it's been something I've at least tried to not take for granted. Life does what it does, though, and sometimes there's moments where it can be a challenge to not get caught up in the hard times. Balance is key.
On a related note, aging doesn't mean that there's no lessons to learn. There's the truism that one should "know better" by a certain point in life. As people are individuals, though, said knowledge might not be gained until later on in life. There's also the issue of taking the lessons learned to heart. Giving yourself grace while taking accountability when necessary shows itself a worthwhile practice in such circumstances.
Given the above said, there's no shame in aging. There's no running away from it. What time we have here on this plane, though, is an opportunity to lean into continuously working on progressing so we and the world can be the best we can be.
