At this writing, I'm exactly 10 days from sliding down the middle of my imaginary teeter totter of life & beginning my rapid descent toward the next decade of my life...
I don't like it! Not even a little bit, not even at all! I guess that 46 is a prettier number than 45, but yuck! What happened to 26? Or 36? I blinked!
Mostly, I've taken the aging process gracefully. I like things simple, so I've never delved into the whole Botox, plastic surgery bit that seems so popular. I'm not into all of that. I'm me, love me as I am or not at all.
I do believe that I have entered mid-life crisis mode. I am not always loving what is looking back at me in the mirror and feeling a bit ho hum. Who the heck is that older chick looking back at me? The hot little 30-something now looks frumpty dumpty to me. Boo!
Don't get me wrong, as appealing as it may sound to rewind the hands of time & redo the things I've done, knowing what I know now... I'd still take back my old choices - because I'm quite sure I'd just make different mistakes that may not lead me to where I am today. Today is good!
20's no thanks - for sure! Reckless & wild - that was me. 30's a little better, but not quite there.
Now, in my 40's - I've accepted that this is who I am. I'm ok with me. Vanity surely kicks me when I'm down, but I know that I'm special and unique. (Just like everyone else, lol)
My kids are getting bigger by the second - I'm getting older and greyer, but I'm me.
Working on telling Mrs. Frumpty Dumpty to relax and embrace the coming years and find a new "hot".
Yep, youth is truly wasted on the young. I may be kicking and screaming all the way down my teeter totter, but I'm looking forward to the next phase of my life.
Thank you for reading my blog!
