I feel life as an older person. My body’s slower, I’m not as quick as I used to be, but my heart’s still strong. There are a lot of things that come with each day and I have learned to keep my composure, patience and strength with each of them. I have learned from age that strength isn’t just in the body. Strength is also found in the mind, in the heart and in the keeping going. In my younger years, there were lots of things I would do in a hurry. But now I know that life is easier if I am slow and wise.
Women Daily Responsibilities
I know my body is an old woman and it requires care. I can’t turn a blind eye to pain, fatigue, or weakness. I now pay more attention to what my body is telling me. If I’m tired, I sleep. If I’m feeling anxious, I sit down and take deep breaths. I don’t feel bad about taking my time. I have discovered, I have learned that rest is also strength. When a woman knows herself, she is made strong. Sometimes the day can get long. A lot of things to consider and lots of people that rely on us.
However, I have gotten used to being patient with myself as I get older. I don’t carry all the burdens in my heart. I try my best and I take what I can’t for what it’s worth. This acceptance brings me peace. It also makes me feel better about myself for every day. I think also that love strengthens us. I feel needed and appreciated when I take care of my family. Although I can’t do everything as before, my presence still counts. My words are also important, my care and my experience.

An older woman does not always demonstrate her strength out loud, but she has a great strength within her. Also learnt to seek assistance when required. Previously, I believed it was a sign of weakness to seek assistance. Now I’m aware it’s not true. It’s prudent to seek help. In life we need each other. Life is easier and relations stay warm when sharing. The most important thing I have learned is to keep my hope alive.

There are some days that are easy and some days that are difficult. However, each morning is an opportunity to start anew. I remind myself that I have already lived through many difficult days. With that thought in mind, I’m filled with courage. They are not for people who want to retire. It is a way of life that is more wise. It is about learning to save energy, to remain cool and to hold love in the heart. Overall, woman is a strong, wise, patient and courageous woman of the old days who does everything quietly.
