A student told me yesterday they have been on this earth since 2013! I told them I have been here since the 1900’s, he was blown away. I find that hilarious, both the fact that I can say it and that the kids in the class act astounded! When you have to add your birth year to something on the internet and have to roll the year thing back forever. I told my husband that night I had been around longer than the CN tower, he questioned it and he is older than me! I went with my parents and watched the helicopter put the top on it when I was a kid… might be a picture of that here somewhere.
Age no longer matters to me like it did. Seems you spend your young life wishing to be old enough. When you are old enough, you get freaked out by milestone birthdays, and then you just settle into the ride. You only think about it when you are not able to stay awake, much like this evening, I had a three hour nap, out cold, three hours, didn’t need ear plugs, sleep noises or even full darkness like my overnight sleep, just flop and full Z mode. It has been a full week and it is only Wednesday, this nap was after two full coffee and non drowsy allergy pills. Not to fear, I will be up till midnight or awake at 3 am to mess it all up, right now, I could run a marathon!
If I were to use Momma as a marker for next leg of my journey, naps are good. Staying up and sleeping in, obviously because of the naps. She is retired, she gets to do that, as a matter of fact, she gets to do whatever she wants. I do what I want, is a favourite saying of mine actually. I adopted it after my favourite birthday, because one day you get it, that you are grown, and you don’t need any permission to do whatever you want. It is the best “YOU” moment you will ever have. Every journey is different and I will enjoy the journey if I am blessed enough to have one. Enjoy your mile markers friends, every kilometre you put on your body, fill it with whatever it is you want!
