Elder Muse/Day 9: Life Is A Gift

As we age and enter the elder years we may forget that each day of life is indeed a gift. At times, because of physical, emotional, mental or other challenges woven into the aging process and simply being human right now, it may be difficult to feel this.

What it often takes is a shift in perspective, clearing the way for a different experience. Opening into possibilities that often seem to be hovering just out of sight and reach.

Even when there is trauma and pain. Not always easy to do.

Perhaps It comes down to the giving and receiving of life in every aspect. Noticing where we place our attention. What nourishes and what depletes.

Generosity comes from gratitude.

Give of the gift of life towards life…… and be willing to receive and acknowledge the fullness.

31 days of Daily Elder Muse blog posts accessed from the unfolding of the day – not planned or scheduled. Yes, the Muse is back again during this powerful and challenging shift time on our planet. May these words, stories and images assist you to remember who you are….and how you can be of service.

I have no idea what will arise…..but then do we really know ahead of time what our moment to moment daily experience will be? We are only asked to pay attention and attend with open artistry. ~Gaye Abbott
