Sometimes the diminishment of aging can affect our spirits

With the process of losing our abilities, can come a growing impatience.  We might have fewer and fewer friends.  We might become crabby and judgmental about the changes going on around us.  Sometimes we can tend to be more “set” in our ways, even stubborn.  Any way we might lose our independence can have a terrible impact on our spirits.  We might experience that others are impatient with us.  Of course, there are a number of ways to avoid some of these effects on our spirits, but it is undeniable that these struggles are a part of aging.
