freedom
My eldest son just turned 60 and I asked him how it felt to be entering a new decade. “I am not sure yet. You tell me how you feel since you turned 80”. My first response was “freedom”. Later that day I gave thought to what I meant.
I have the freedom of life unfolding.
I have the freedom of not having to know.
I have the freedom not to fear the future.
I have the freedom to bless rather than regret the past.
I have the freedom of mindfulness.
I have the freedom to choose wonder over worry.
I have the freedom to not identify myself with my productivity.
I have the freedom to know physical issues do not define me.
I have the freedom to feel the fullness of gratitude throughout the day.
I have the freedom to view the world with love.
