What is one of the great gifts of growing older?

[⭐ analyst75]

One of the great gifts of growing older (I’m 79) is being able to see how everything worked out. No more questions. Will I find a job? Will I get married? Will I give birth and will it be horribly painful? Will I attend college—later as opposed to never? Will I ever feel fulfilled when working?

 

Now I have all the answers and no bucket list left—simply enough time for exercise, writing, and relaxation. Taking trips down Memory Lane and thinking of my life as a jigsaw puzzle that fit together more easily than I ever thought it would.

That's a really lovely way to look at it. I think perspective is the biggest gift — worrying less about the small stuff and appreciating the ordinary days more. Thanks for sharing this, it's given me something to think about.
