I look at the grandkids and wonder what their lives will be in 20 years and wonder if we’ll still be around to see. Of course no one knows their fate and all we can do is enjoy one day at a time, but I still want to watch them grow up and see what they do with the life they’ve been given. Of course we want better for our grandchildren and hope they don’t make the mistakes we did or their parents.

When you’re young your so full of anticipation and anxious to be grown at least I know I couldn’t wait to get older, but now that I’m older the years can stop passing me by so quickly. It seemed like forever before I reached the age of 16 and could get my license and I would be well on my way to being an adult. Of course I pushed it and became an adult with a baby at 16 and had to learn new responsibilities, I was so impatient to be a grownup.

I recently got a pimple and it made me feel like a teenager again. I always thought when you got older your glands became different and you were done with all of that, but I guess stress and other factors still play a role. At least I don’t have to worry about getting acne treatment like my sister did so many years ago. You would think getting age spots and wrinkles would be enough to worry about now without adding a pimple to compound it.

I actually would not want to be young again I’m grateful for all the years I’ve been given to experience so many different things and feelings and I’ve actually been very lucky in my life. I always felt like someone was watching out for me. When I look around I can see 10 other people that have had a rougher life than myself so it makes me grateful for everything I have and time can slow down again now that I’m older so I can enjoy it..
