The Message Mitzi taught me: Just be glad we're still here. Enjoy

Tribute to a Strong Woman: A chance reunion with an old friend could have turned to commiseration, but her petite, positive friend--who handles everything life throws at her with poise and grace--changed an outlook

By Sheila Wood

Today I had the pleasure of running into an old friend Mitzi Bault. We had not seen one another in a long time and it was good to catch up with her.

As we talked all I could think of was just how beaming she was. If any of you know Mitzi she has always been such a happy positive person. As we began talking about how long we have known each other, the conversation turned to age.



Mitzi and I are the same age and I was complaining about mid-life and just how bad it was. Mitzi smiled as I went on about not being able to get up in my truck with great ease and grace.

Mitzi summed it up with calling that "we used to could" but be glad we are still here and enjoy our families and life itself.

So if you are reading this and you are in a mid-life crisis I have three words for you Get over it . . . life is so much more. Be thankful.

To Mitzi: Thanks for giving me back something I had lost and taken for granted. I decided from that moment on I will forever be grateful for everyday I get no matter what that day brings to me.

Mitzi, we should all be grateful and thankful to all those strong women like you who keep faith when going through whatever life had given you.
