Successfully
living through the aging process does not come easy.
There’s
much to learn that I never knew before.
And
why wouldn't that be so? After all, my own aging is an
absolutely new experience for me.
Thankfully,
I’m a willing student.

Fact: A dictionary defines “patriarch” as the
oldest male in a tribe or family.
The
same dictionary defines a “matriarch” as a woman who is the head of a family or
tribe. No mention of age. I like that.
An
added definition describes her as an older woman who is powerful within a
family or a tribe.
Accorded
power - and not labeled as the oldest,
not bad.

I think I can handle being a “matriarch”. (Even one without power.)
I know I'm looking forward to my tomorrows and whatever surprises each day may bring.
