Gracefully getting old

What is one word that describes you?

I wanted to do the A to Z blogging this April. I really had something in my mind. But I have taken upon one too many tasks for me and my boy. I feel I can’t chew one more activity.

My boy didn’t want me to cook yesterday. We had to go out for lunch. He loves dining in at Indian restaurants. All the restaurant people know my boy so well he is treated like royalty. We rarely eat dinner outside, looks like our body likes when we have outside food early. In fact I didn’t even want to bring in leftovers. I made a simple dinner at 5 pm.

I was searching for some vessel. I felt I had too many! The craze to buy more vessels is not there anymore. Buying vessels for needs is what I have settled into now. No one can sell me something fancy 😀!

Oh, I had been searching for my reading glasses. Just found the spare. Maybe they are in the laundry room. My legs are not ready to go to the basement yet this morning. Maybe after sometime. Not getting nervous over the fact.

Looks like all the facts above just show maybe “I am getting old and mature?”

Yes, getting old is not bad! We make mature decisions and I have accepted the fact gracefully😀🙏.

Yesterday’s lunch

      1. It looks really good! I tried making naan and it failed and then I read that I needed a cast iron pan to make it. Like you, I’m at a point where I’m not going to buy new stuff.

      2. All stores have it. Aldi Trader Joes. I do not make naan. Stop by an Indian store and they have many in frozen section and are really good.

  2. Aging is like switching from a fast train to a slow boat. At first, it feels odd—why is everything moving so calmly? But then, you notice the view. The small things you once rushed past now seem important.

    Forgetting where the reading glasses are? That’s just life teaching patience. Not wanting new kitchen gadgets? That’s wisdom whispering, “You already have enough.” And your son enjoying familiar places? That’s the comfort of routine, a sign that he’s found his little corner in the world.

    Maybe aging isn’t about losing energy—it’s about gaining focus. Instead of chasing everything, you start picking what truly matters. Maybe the real gift of aging is learning to enjoy the ride instead of racing to the finish line.
