True to Age

“In ageing it is even more important to live in splendor, seeking the beauty in mortal life.”

Songs of the earth

I hear, I listen

I loath to leave.

The Beauty of Ageing

"Do not regret growing older ...."

“Do not regret growing older. It is a privilege denied to many.” Author Unknown

Into Ageing

As we age, let us grow simply in Gratitude for blessings, big and small, daily and miraculous. May this blog remind us all what can constitute a Good Life, not riches or possessions or achievements, but simply, an alertness to and an appreciation of daily experiences, like an inspiring chat, a ripe fruit or a friend’s touch.

About Me

Roselyn Chuah: Nature sitter but never fence sitter. Word carer but never gossip heeder. Tip sharer but never vanity keeper. Fun player but never show stopper. Easy goer but never loose wanderer. Simplicity styler but never trend follower. Love gatherer but never heart breaker. Energy seeker but never restless lodger. Learning from our winged friends, and more: fair fight, openness, straightforwardness, free spirit, do-itness, survival, and more. Learning as I see, learning as I listen, learning as I touch, learning as I do, learning as I talk.
