I love, love, love my kids...but there are times when I would like to have some time for my interests or simply to clean the house and have it stay that way! LOL I know I will miss them and being a mother terribly though...Anyway...I don't mind growing old. Most people think I look much younger than I am and I'll take that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06441870348048026971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914993724763982306.post-62197254550326404962015-03-14T11:49:20.957-05:002015-03-14T11:49:20.957-05:00Oh my, you cannot fight age.

I think that is what makes people beautiful, when they are happy. Age is fleeting for all of us. Happiness is what really matters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914993724763982306.post-12128442213809173652015-03-11T21:55:45.941-05:002015-03-11T21:55:45.941-05:00Growing old gracefully!

I am looking forward to retirement in 5-10 years, depending on when my kids graduate from college.

And by "shape" I do mean ALL of me: body, mind, spirit. I never want to stop learning new things and devouring information. I never want to get comfortable with being still all the time; although I do want to be able to appreciate the stillness when it comes. I want to keep seeking adventure - even if it is just strolling through antique shops and cafes on a Sunday afternoon. It doesn't always have to be wild and crazy times. I am in my 40s and my youngest is only 5 years old. I watch her experiencing the world and I think: that sense of wonder she has -- I never want to lose that either. <br />great question!!!

She walked 2 miles a day and took very good care of herself until she got where she just couldn't anymore. She still enjoyed life to the very end, asking her son what he'd like for her to cook him for supper when she got home from the hospital (on the day she passed). She always told us, "Growing old is better than the alternative". <br /><br />I say embrace it ... while doing your very best to enjoy each moment.
