Are The Golden Years Really Golden?

As I was going through the self-checkout at Target a few weeks back, an elderly attendant started a conversation with me. She started out speaking about her ill husband, but ended saying “I’m in my Golden Years, but there’s nothing Golden about these Years”. I sighed, gave her a smile and walked away. As I headed to my car my thoughts started to wonder the meaning of her words. We spend our young lives working and saving for the future somehow thinking that things will be great then, but not realizing that the Most Important Time in Your Life is NOW! It’s hard for many of us to seize every moment (we’re so busy throughout the day), so instead try to appreciate every time you awaken from sleep. I’m thankful to open my eyes and see another day!
