Do you believe this?
On most days, I have to answer “yes”. I love the fall colors but we all know it’s a kind of death isn’t it. Also, abandoned houses that have fallen into disrepair can have a moody kind of beauty.
On some days, I have to answer “no”. Aging sometimes does not feel all that wonderful.

I wish I could be that positive about decay. I DO love old, abandoned houses though!
I think that aging is only a part of living. I learned early on that it isn’t how old you are it is how you look at life. I have a number of health problems. Among them Lupus, Fibromyalgia and Sjogren’s. My functional days have become a 3 hour window but I have found out that if I can keep a positive attitude I feel much better. I focus on what I can do not on what I can’t. I do my crafts and decorate my house for all holidays or seasons just like you bloggers. I do it big too. I find that to be a big mood enhancer. I have lots of medical bill so I make a lot of my decorations or buy at The Dollar Tree. I keep myself happy. I also read decorating books and blogs and that keeps my creative juices flowing. I also eat a healthy diet and that has helped me tremendously. I feel better now than I did 30 years ago when I first got sick. I love your blog and keep your chim up.
Sheryl, thanks so much for your comments. I will keep your note close at hand and will read it frequently as I age. Despite your health problems, your positive attitude is so refreshing and inspirational!
