Today was a really cool aha moment for me. It was manicure and pedicure day for my 84 year Grammy. My parents were there too. We all chipped in to assist her to get her home "summer ready". We were all outside ready to leave and here come the other 85 year old and 89 year Granny's to collect my Granny for their daily afternoon 1 mile walk!
There were 3 generations in the driveway. Me, my mother, and my Grammy. As I observed these amazing women and studied the wisdom and years of experiences in their faces I felt such a peace about growing old. They all seemed so happy just to be outside in the fresh air and so happy to be alive and at the same time; I sensed their own peace in their time to die. It felt as though they were so present and so okay with life.
I've been on such a search for my purpose on this earth for all of my life and today it just occurred to me that maybe I'm living my purpose in every moment and my need for my life to be BIG just isn't so necessary. Maybe it's just about giving my love to others and helping my Grammy when she needs help, and being there for family and friends when they need someone.
Today I was at peace with where I am in my life. I was at peace with what I've accomplished and lived through in my life. I felt at peace with growing older. I felt at peace just as I am.
