Tomorrow is my Medicare birthday. I have to pinch myself to realize I’m really that old. Now I can proudly wear the title, Senior Citizen.
My mom used to say that all she wanted in life was to raise a loving family. When she said that I remember thinking that I wanted more.
In hindsight, that’s been my goal, as well.
Saturday our three generations of family sat around a common table, laughing, eating, sharing stories. Feelings of contentment, pride, admiration, and gratitude sat in my belly, feeding the knowledge that if I should die tomorrow, my life has counted for something.
