Too Old

I’m too old to be this excited about my life!

I’d lost my ambition long ago.

I’d let go of all those expectations

Mine and their’s

Hey! I thought this was going to be an upbeat post!

But then , just today, as I was sharing most recent events with a new friend those words dropped out of my pocket and hit the floor

It reminds me of that country song,

Then he opened up his billfold and threw a twenty down,

And a faded photograph fell out and hit the ground.

I Hate Everything, George Strait

My friend’s reaction was an emphatic,

“Why?!?”

“I’m too old to be this excited about my life!”

Then her emphatic rebuke!

It was a verbal slap on the shoulder

LOL

“This is your life…” My whole life I’ve fell for the same old fear, “its too late !”

A gentle sigh is now upon my heart, as I ponder the peace of knowing He’s had me all along… I feel ready for the challenges and delightfully surprised!
