The Art of Growing older.

We know about physiology , the science of the body and how we grow older and then,just old. My first post was on that.

Everone grows older, not everyone grows up! We need to develop our emotions and our mind as we grow older. Often peole talk of maturity as having reached a certain age. That is only physical maturity and in part, mental maturity.

Maturity is largely a state of mind. It is achieving the ability to know yourself, to live in a world that may not alway understand you and to understand people whether or not you may like them. Being mature is understanding and respecting the whole of God's creation. It is trying to know God even without understanding Her at times. That is the art of growing old.

You may suspect by now that I am not this young, lovely woman. I am lovely, hhmmm. I am 28 and holding and holding and holding.
