Half the way walked


Today mi wife sent me a post for people with more than 40 years of age. It is one of those posts that one receives every day. One that was sent from someone who received it from another one and so on. But this one really made me think.
I am over fourty, and the way I view life is not the same as it was some twenty years ago. Then, I had more energy, it was like if I was able to do whatever I wanted, although now I'm not so sure. Today I know what I can do, and it's a lot.
First, now I can enjoy life, to savor time and action, even no-action. I can make a stop and smell my cup of tea, and drink it alone, just because I like tea. And I may have it with a loved friend and enjoy the company.
Now I'm not in a rush, and it is not because I can't run, it is just that I have found another pace that allows me to live the moment. I like speed, but found that cycling and walking give me a better speed, one that makes me have the chance to hear a bird singing in my way.
There are many things that I want to do, But I have found that I prefer to do one thing with love and patience than many in a clumsy way. Now I want less things, and it has nothing to do with what is in or out.
Life has not changed much for me in this years. It is my perspective of life what has changed, and I'm happy.
