Ageing

I have discovered yesterday and the day before that I have become old. Now that I am old, I have fewer friends but beautiful ones. They are my precious friends. Now that I am old, I have more money than I need. I don't need a lot of things I needed before. I don't need to buy baby milk formula, nappies, baby lotion and soap, baby clothes, and baby food. I am a lot richer in my old age when I was poor when I was trying to grow my family. So I am happy that I am old to see how far I have come in my life. I don't need new glasses anymore; I can see Quran very clearly without my glasses. So I am happy now that I am old. The kids at TESCO called me "Nenek" and I am happy with that. It feels really great to be able to live this long and live peacefully without worries. Nothing beats the joy this life brings to me. I'm happy as the days go by. ALHAMDULILLAH.
