Joy
Such a huge concept for three little letters.
Such depth of feeling, such breadth of experience.
Yet they are enough.
It was not without trepidation that I entered my sixth decade some 18 months or so ago. I faced financial worry. My life was at a point of stagnation. And it all seemed to be downhill from there.
Yet here I am today, experiencing the newness of the world, revisiting old friends such as curiosity and discovery, and loving it. There is an excitement in the air as I hear old songs, look at flowering jacaranda trees, exercise my body.
And so much of this is internal. I find that while the stimuli may be external, my response is very much internal, and the curiosity and discovery extend to what is within as well as what is without. I am still alive. I can still find new depths inside my body, my mind, my spirit.
I am lucky. My summer lies ahead of me to be lived through as a free woman. My work allows me these next two months or more all to myself. I am thirsty for what I have planned. My time is open and to be used as I wish, as I want, as I need. In my chest, in my gut, rises a crest of excitement and anticipation. This is my time. And I am taking it.
