Once a month I do a Wisdom Wednesday...
Today is the day!
First a quote from a favorite book. "The Pecan Man" by Cassie D. Sellack.
"The older I get, the less I care what what people think about me, but I care a great deal about people knowing my business"

That quote really struck a cord in my heart. With age comes wisdom and with wisdom you see what's important and what's not.
Time becomes a measuring stick. What is necessary for a happy life changes when you realize the clock is ticking.
I want to do what I feel will enrich my life. And, doggone it, my mind is good so I can take care of my own affairs.
What other people think is no longer something I care about.
I will make my own decisions and I will
Live my life to the fullest.
I declare my own state of independence!

ReplyDeleteIf only we learned that bit, about not worrying about what others think, a lot earlier in life!!!! What is the saying...? "Don't worry about what people think of you. They aren't thinking of you. they are only concerned with themselves." :-)
May we all carry on, my Dear!!!
Gentle hugs

ReplyDeleteOh wow! So glad I visited you from Granny Marigold's blog. Somehow I've been missing your posts. Love your words today! I've always been very self-concious and worry worry worry about what people think. Well a few weeks ago I signed up for line dancing classes at the senion center. Never laughed so much or had so much fun in my life. Somehow when we're dancing I don't care what anyone thinks.
ReplyDeleteYes, this is true for me, too!
