Hey,
I'm Livin' The Life! Copyright © Jan Tincher - All Rights reserved Some people will say to me, *Getting old is for the birds.* They are younger than I am in age, but older in spirit. When they say that to me, I look them in the eyes, and say, *Hey, I'm livin' The Life, and it's fantastic!* . . .
I was talking to a teenager the other day. She was a clerk at a store I was shopping in -- yes, I loooove to shop -- and she had just waited on an older lady. The clerk looked at me and said, *Getting old is the pits, isn't it?* I looked her in the eyes and said, *Hey, I'm livin' The Life, and it's fantastic!* My husband put his hands behind his head and twisted this way and that. I could tell his back was hurting him, and I was getting ready for him to ask me to give him a massage. Then, he surprised me as he looked at me and said, *Hey, I'm livin' The Life, and it's fantastic!* and walked away. <grin> Now, he could have asked me for that massage, and I could have given it to him, and he could have rumminated on his aches and pains, but he didn't. He handled it himself. *Hey, I'm livin' The Life, and it's fantastic!* just means that good or bad, we're livin' it and we're not complaining. The more we complain, the more we find to complain about. The more we enjoy, the more we find to enjoy. How do we find something to enjoy if our life is miserable? Well, you tell me. Does your little finger hurt, so you're ignoring the fact that you have nine others that work well? How about if you had a little video camera and took it everywhere. When you get home and watch that video, will you see only the things that have gone wrong in your life -- or will you find the beauty in the day? That's what we should all tuck into our hearts -- and bring out frequently to view. Why don't you decide now to live *The Life?* The life you were given to make the most of? Get your own little video camera. What are you going to watch tonight? What are you seeing in your life? What is your reality? Can you change it? I did. Thanks for reading. Jan P.S.
