As you grow older in age, age is just a mind set, it's the heart and attitude that count. Life does get better if you have a simple and fulfilled life. It means you have planned ahead for the basic needs you have and doing things that count for others and you enjoy. For your loved ones, for your friends, even for those who around you that you don't know so well, they could be friends that you just haven't met.
I can speak from experience as I am growing with age, 51 this year, that life is only getting better. Yes, you might need to go a little slower but not too slow. Actually you enjoy it more when you go about doing things slower. I can't say that I have mastered the slowness thingy yet, ha! for the fact that I just felt down and have bruised myself here and there, tripped as I am going up the stairs, lost my mobile as I was trying to do so much and in a hurry. My mind is running ahead of me usually. So we only have to slow down physically, that we can't help it because we are bound by this earthly condition, but otherwise we can go places miles and miles away, and dream big dreams.
The spiritual and physical realms are so tightly entwined, we can't really separate it. What I mean is that your spiritual state affects you physically and vice versa. Having a good and healthy spirit is important to enjoy the life we live in. We won't be influenced so much with what's going on around us. That means we will need a vibrant relationship with God. It takes time and effort to cultivate that vibrant, strong and close relationship with Him. And it is attainable. Do it day by day, decide the time and the way you do it. Either through taking time to pray, to meditate, listen to some good music, take a walk in the park or somewhere quite, read some uplifting devotional books or the Bible, or you could find ways that work for you to get that connection going with your Creator. You will find that life is just getting better everyday.
