Growing Young

How old are you? I’m turning 60 on June 18, 2012. Do you wonder (like I do) how the years flew by so quickly? It seems like yesterday I was holding my youngest daughter in my arms after giving birth. In a blink of an eye – I was holding her baby – my beautiful new grandson! God has so much more for each of us to accomplish, but how can we if we are unhealthy, exhausted or losing our joy? I’ve been blessed to look and feel young for my age and it improves the quality of my life on many levels. I want to share my expertise, thoughts and research on the topic of “Growing Young” in a regular blog so you can look and feel your best as well!

Countdown to My 60th Birthday

Danna Demetre - Thursday, January 05, 2012

There's a question I've been asking women for years: If time and money were no issue, what would you do differently with your life? It's a question that encourages daydreaming, but it can also be a negative motivator to focus on what you don't have rather than be thankful for what you DO have in all life's dimensions. If you can keep yourself from falling into discontent, the answer to that question may give you a hint of hopes, passions or gifts you've never pursued. At the end of your life, will you regret not pursuing them? And, an even more important question: Are any of these hopes, passions, giftings from God? Does HE want you to pursue them, but you are not for fear of failure or some other reason.

As I near my 60th birthday, I'm asking God to prompt, nudge, perhaps even give me a big ole PUSH toward the hopes, passions or use of gifts that HE wants me to pursue. He put me on this earth for a tiny bit of time to leave a deposit. I'm more and more aware that that time is running down. So, I'm trying to live like time and money are not an issue and pray for a few Godly nudges. I'll let you know when they come! Have YOU been nudged by God lately?
