Aging Gracefully

I have never considered my self to be vain. Well I find vanity very unattrative and rather irritating. When my 21st birthday came I was very excited finally I was 21 I could own land in my home country, I could get married without parental consent, I was no longer a minor etc. Twenty one was dizzy year. Then all of sudden I was going on to 22. Then I got scared I was getting old. In an attempt to stay younger I would celebrate 21 year years in row. Prior to this I had no problem disclosing my age. Now when someone would as how old I am I would ask why they want to know, woman do don't reveal that their age and so on. The I was 25 well was go gear I mean quarter of century, some ages i did not like  26 nothing cool about that worse still 27.

28 was about hectic I lost my grandmother a month into my 28 year. Well her passing away was quite sudden one moment we were having breakfast and chatting, then she was not feeling well. After a brief visit to the clinic she was home sleeping then next we check on her she was gone. The came the funeral arrangements etc. Then it was all a blur. I spent the whole year or most of it grieving cause I realized how I lost so many people in my life but had never really taken time to grieve and acknowledge the loss. Then I realized age was just a part of me and who I am. Then I made pace with my age and getting older. 29 has been a great year, what I love about getting older is the comfort I have in my own skin.  I know what I want and love my life.

As child growing up I was never one to fit so as adult I have intention of changing. Am where I want to be in life. Where I am is a result of my choices which i have made and do not regret. So am not going apologetic for my life or my circumstances

 Six days to go until my 30 birthday am so excited, why because I finally get this aging thing, loving it and embracing it.

God is wonderful he has kept me for 30 years, lavished me with love and blessing, given me a great family and wonderful friends am blessed and highly favored indeed.
