JUNETEENTH INSPIRATION!
I am thankful that I have reached the ripe old age of seventy ( 70)l! Wisdom can come with aging if you pay attention. Being attentive to my past life occurrences and consequences has made me wiser and healthier. The main reason this happened was because of the grace of God! I embrace the longevity of Seniors much older than myself. I respect them more than ever. My mom will be ninety ( 90 ) this year. She still has more energy than I do at times. She will complete her chores no matter how long it takes. She has arthritis but it doesn't stop her most days. She is still mentally sharp and will chastise any one who thinks she is old and feeble minded. I admire and love her very much.. I was so amazed by an article I read in AARP online newsletter. A 95 year old woman was instrumental in the making of Juneteenth as a national holiday.
