As I Get Older

As I get older, I see myself feeling older – and I want/need to avoid that. I’m up at 2:30am, because the back pain is too much, and I’m waiting for the aspirin to kick in!

I go to the gym 4 days a week, I try to stay healthy and strong for my children’s sake – so I can hang with them. I don’t really know what I’m doing wrong, but there are so many things I wish I were doing right. So my goals, as I grow older, are:

to feel younger (stronger, healthier),

to get more done in a day – and the worst thing to admit is that I LOVE all of the things I do in a day – I should just do them!,

to stay close to my children – even as they grow and change,

to do more with dh, he was gone so much for the first 20 years of our marriage – I hope we can find some great things to do together in our next 20,

to celebrate more – life is a celebration – let’s party! I want to celebrate Wednesdays, and “I got an A on my test” day, and “the sun is finally out” day, and ‘let’s have a picnic”day. I want my kids to remember that mom made life fun (even if they thought she was wacko at the time!)
