What an insightful post and a template for many of us to follow, Molly. <br /><br />Self-discovery is so rewarding, though the process can be sometimes painful and I am often resistant to it. The decades come faster now, for sure (I have a good 10 years on you - try to catch up to me), but, it is such a wonderful time of life, especially with relatively good health. A new baby on the way just sweetens the pot. <br /><br />Happy New Year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-28222383636903554792010-12-27T18:08:12.715-06:002010-12-27T18:08:12.715-06:00Bravo!

I will turn 42 in Feb. and now after reading your eloquent thoughts I too have become a bit more reflective in regards to what interests me, what do I like to do? I love to scrapbook but haven't done one page this year...how horrible is that?? I also like to cross stitch but haven't done it once either. I need to make time for myself too....thanks for the nudge!Stacihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07600979915661464945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-55928380778528617672010-12-27T14:19:01.185-06:002010-12-27T14:19:01.185-06:00I love this post!!!!

My teenagers and all their drama also remind me daily that those days were not my favorite. There were no tragedies or anything like that; I just have enjoyed more life since then than I enjoyed then. Does that even make sense? Our first bird leaves the nest this year and I know that will be a challenge for me, but instead of wishing for times gone by, I am going to try and look forward to what we have ahead of us. Life is what we make it and like you, I'm all about taking hold of it and living it fully :)Peppermint Ph.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02839146118641977559noreply@blogger.com
