I went to a bookstore to look for a fashion magazines and a book to read for my free time. And I picked up a popular magazine that quickly reminded me of how significant an issue aging is to millions of people. Then suddenly asked myself. What will be my look if I get old? Am I making enough money to secure a comfortable future? Am I in the right career now? what will I do after I retire? how are my kids doing? what kind of worlds awaits them? How am I doing health wise? How can I keep my mind sharp and alert? Huh! too much thinking about future! Questions about aging are not just asked by the “old” ones. It is a hard concept to define and not just about health and money. Though I appear to be aging more slowly, millions of young adults are already concerned with age issues in regard of attractiveness, career status and other issues. God given us everything we need to enjoy life. Yes, I should plan for and look to the future. I think the real secret of aging with grace is how I live today. We should take care of our body with reasonable exercise and a good balance diet today to increase the chances of being healthy. To maintain and have sharp and alert mind in twenty or thirty years from now, read, think, and discuss matters today. My question about aging gracefully is no different than the question of how I live each day gracefully. I have to enjoy it and live it fully. God richly gives us everything to enjoy.
