Golden Years

By Mona Sharma

Life comes with an expiry date. So enjoy while it lasts. We are not living in today if we are still carrying yesterday's baggage.

As age progresses, lots of memories accumulate. Some good some bad. Each memory has a significance, either it gives us a lesson or happiness. So learn from the lessons and enjoy happy memories.

Post our prime starts the golden years. Enjoy them .You have slogged during your youth, taken care of all your responsibilities to the best of your ability and now is the time to reap the fruits of your labour.

Golden years are not called golden just like that, it is the period when you have time for yourself, you can inculcate some hobby or just follow your dream of travelling, gardening or any other passion you have long been thinking of. There is a golden aura of peace, tranquility, calmness and above all ample time on hand.

Pre existing medical problems actually start waning as there is very little stress and body starts healing itself. But having said that I would like to add that a positive mind set is a must for such things to take place.

So let your hair down and enjoy without worry the bountiful nature, your children, grandchildren and all of God's creations. You have truly earned these years. Don't let anyone or anything spoil it for you.
