On Trek

 

By Judith Kroll

I cannot turn back the clock and truthfully I do not want to turn back the clock. I treasure my experiences, good and bad because many helped me to always move forward becoming a better person. My wrinkles, pains, and white hair spell wisdom to me. I am proud of my journey, and so blessed with all the beautiful people I have met, and will continue to meet.

I watched my grandparents and parents go thru the golden years, finding joy and happiness every chance they got. My dad found so much joy on his tractor. Yes, working, but smiling big the whole time. He tinkered and made changes to his home constantly. His Father was putting in a new bathroom at around age 85 and passed in his sleep. He found joy in his work

I love to sit outside and experience all the life buzzing, flying, and moving around. Little rabbits, squirrels, deer, raccoons, bees, and hummingbirds, are all finding joy in life.

Some hummingbirds come right up to my face and buzz hello. It is quiet outside, and you can hear the leaves falling. Becoming part of the earth again, in a different form.

Every day is a new experience. Enjoy every moment in life. It is meant to make us happy. Find your happiness, and make each day a new experience.
Love, Judith
