Old Before your TIme?

Are you feeling old before your time?  Do you look in the mirror and see a stranger?  Has life evaporated as you knew it and you haven't been able to take hold of the present?

It has always been interesting to me how surprised I am when I see friends from my younger years.  They have changed.  So have I.  The energy of my youth has given way to slower steps and someone who vaguely looks like the me thirty years ago.

During my caregiving experience, I found it difficult to maintain a lifestyle that would ward off the changes of time.  I was busy.  I was working full-time, caring for my family and caregiving.  I found out later that there are many ways to keep up a healthy lifestyle. 

If you are struggling with your health, take 10 minutes whenever you can and relax.

How?  What makes you happy?  Are you a reader?  Do you like to talk to a friend?  Do you like yoga?  How about music?  A walk around the yard?

I want to encourage you to do what makes you happy and gives you a lift.  I have always found Scripture refreshing and uplifting.  For me, the Psalms provide words of encouragement.  The Sermon on the Mount in Matthew brings  enlightenment and hope to me. 

Whatever works for you, take a short break.
