Our family is having a reunion this summer. In preparation, I have been researching our family tree and have uncovered many treasures and truths. One truth slapped me in the face the other day, as I realized, at a deep spiritual level, that my sisters and I were the elders of the family!!! Imagine my shock since in my heart and mind I am not over 30 years of age…even though my body has seen 60+ years. My memories and thoughts of family include my parents, and grandparents as though they were still with us. And in a way, they are. Their spirits invade our family gatherings as much as their big personalities did in the flesh. Isn’t it wonderful that our spirits are ageless and eternal? As I pondered my reflection, an older lady looked back. The salt & pepper hair and lined face belied the high school cheerleader, college coed, blushing newlywed, and young mother hidden inside. I suppose I could jump on the botox, anti-aging bandwagon and trim some years from my face…but that wouldn’t change the person I am – the spirit of my being. So I will embrace my whole self and welcome wisdom and experience and hope that I will leave a lasting impression – an eternal blessing – on my family – those present and to come.
