I just celebrated my 32nd birthday earlier this month. Where have the years gone to? I still remember being a kid with no worries except my grades in school. I think back to the days when I was young and wild and we'd laugh about how 30 was old.
Now I truly do not believe I have earned the label of old yet. Maybe as we get older ourselves our perception of age changes because I think 40 is still pretty young. I mean come on, how often do you hear about the 40 year old that just suddenly died. When it does happen we are a little shocked and worried.
I feel like I am getting older, but I have a lot to learn still. I have experienced many different things in my 32 years and I am still hear to tell the story so I'm doing something right. Things have changed like keeping up with my 3 year old now is different then when my daughter was 3 and I find that my taste buds are changing as I get older. I am lucky to report that I have not found a single gray hair yet and I have most of my teeth still.
Really the only things that have changed are my perceptions and ideas about life. I have lived and loved an learned from past husbands or relationships that I have finally found my soulmate and live a great life with him and our Family. I am the proud mother of a teenage daughter and a three and a half year old son. I love my job and I appreciate having it. I just live life and try to keep up with my children.
But I guess I answered my own question about why I am feeling this way lately and now I know I am not old. I am growing and learning. I am raising two beautiful, smart children. Shit I can't b old yet I can still out run my teenager in a 100 yard dash lol.
I'm turning 40 in a few months so thank you for saying that's not old! I agree as we age maturity and perspective change. Some for the better and some well... I've seen people get worse. Way to go! Great attitude!
