Hello Friends!
Today I asked one of my friends how she and her husband celebrate their anniversary. The friend I am talking about here is not someone with a very positive approach to life. She's a skeptical person who doesn't really know how to embrace things coming her way. She told me what it is to celebrate; they are now old and mature and anniversaries or birthdays are kiddo things to do. It made me think, are we really too old that we can’t even celebrate a day?
For my anniversary. I particularly wear a good, nice, and new dress. I get him a red rose, some other gifts and plan an outing like a trip or at least a dinner outside to celebrate. So I don’t really agree with people who say we have grown old to celebrate.
I personally believe there is no age bar or limit on celebrations and you don’t grow old by age. As we grow, we actually become more aware of things; we know the pros and cons and we are in a better position to judge the situations. So how can age define celebrations?
What I could understand from the conversations is that maybe we all take age as an excuse to run away from things. If we are old why are we even wearing new clothes or going on trips or eating good food? We are just making age an excuse to not do things that we don’t want to, which is not fair. Life doesn’t give us many chances to celebrate. We continuously crib about life getting monotonous and dull. These little things make life fun and fill our life with colors.
I’m not talking about celebrating Anniversaries in particular. It is about all those little things that we bypass giving reasons which might not be even valid.
So, friends don't use age as an excuse to escape. Use your age factor to show you are wiser, you now better and have more experience than the previous day. This is what makes your life meaningful.
