So I have two days left of being 62. I cannot believe I will be 63. How did I get here so fast. One minute I am a cute fun 15 year old girl to a 19 year old wife, to a 22 year old mother, to a 50 year old grandmother to a 63 year old empty nester with a retired husband. Don't get me wrong, I am thankful for my beautiful life that I have had so far but now it feels like I am quickly running out of time. I wish I was more spiritual. I have never been spiritual but I have tried to live a Christian life. I know that I have failed miserably in so many areas but I have been pretty honest all along the way. I believed for a long time that I would live to my 80's or even into my 90's because of longevity in both sides of my family and plus the fact that I never smoked or drank alcohol. Anyway, I am not sure now. Here is why...
The Pandemic. So the first part of 2020 along came a virus. Everyone has been affected by this. Everybody. So people got sick, died, wore masks, we sanitized everything. Everything. Schools closed, businesses closed, factories closed, restaurants closed etc etc. Fear has been forced on everyone. EVERYONE. So, how I relate to this is "What is the future for us"? Especially to the elderly. I don't consider myself "elderly" but I am inching there rapidly.
So what I have been trying to do is to take care of my mental health. I try to stay informed but work hard at not letting it kill my spirit. This thing can be a dream killer if we allow it. Of course I have no idea what the end game is but I believe there is some kind of a world changing goal. It makes me sad for everyone. I am especially sad for my children and grandchildren's future. All I can do is hope and pray that they will be strong in the Lord until He comes.
God Help Us All.
