It is sad at times how easy life is to feel exhausted. But then it does remind we are mortal. And that is what is supposed to be a good thing.

If we never felt any aches and pains I'm sure we would not have the same sense of being other than immortal. Which gives some sense to the aging process.

Still we do not always relish our wrinkles and lost of energy. It might not cleave to us with sunshine, but rather bring us certain shadows.

What we don't have to do is treat the shadows as death shrouds. One can embrace the process of change without the need to see it only as darkness.

It is an easy problem to have run through our lives. How often pride can intrude upon our view.

I've known so many who never allowed such transitions of life to be accepted with the needed reality. And that can be such a challenge at times.

For the soul truly see life through eternal eyes. Our spirit has the same youthful sense of time it always has.

This infects our thoughts and motives. We might feel older, but it can still bury us with illusions tales.

Which is where we think we can do everything the same as when we were a teenager. It is a nice illusion, but not realistic.

So in the process we can either learn to trust God more or we can remain stubborn and stiff necked to our circumstances. This never leads to happiness.

Lots of complaints, but never happiness. For one can not truly savor the present if you are not content.

And many times if one basis contentment on a certain expectation in terms of living, well then it would be hard to be happy. And the lord might use such situations to try and teach.

But it doesn't mean we will listen. Which can only make thing worse when we fail to do as would truly benefit us.

Life is not the whole that we are. It is the journey we travel on our way to eternity. However some will not travel it as God would guide. They will stumble and resist and in the end, gain nothing.

Should age truly kill our spirit? That is a question each of us has to ask for ourselves.
