May 3 - Aging

At the age of 20,
we don't care what the world thinks of us;

at 30,
we worry about what it is thinking of us;

at 40,
we discover that it wasn't thinking of us at all. ~Anonymous

Today, my brother, Leslie turned 40, so I went looking for a quote to focus on aging. I found the quote above and I it really hit home.

When I was in my twenties, I was focused on my life. I was busy building my career and starting a family.

In my thirties, I was raising a young family and continuing to focus on my career. I spent little time on myself or on others outside of my family or career. This was mainly because I worried about what people thought of me.

Now in my forties, I like to say, I am starting to develop wisdom in my life. It is not all about me, my family or my job. The life is about faith in God, caring about and loving everyone that I come in contact with. Even if they are outside my little world.

I can not wait to see what my fifties will bring – Just for clarification it is a long time away. I have a lot more learning to do in my forties before I will be prepared for the gift of fifties!
