Re: Reflections...Suddenly It's Winter
Looking backwards can be both a joyful and sorrowful experience, but life experiences give us the wisdom to take each event out of its box and examine it with more mature thoughts.Re: Reflections...Suddenly It's Winter
I can relate to so much of your Reflections Dee. When we are young, we look at older people and vow we will do things differently. We will never wear the ‘uniform’, we will carry on living life as we did, but somehow, little by little and mostly unnoticed, we become that older person we vowed we’d not turn into, but yes, we have to put as much into each day as energy will allow!Re: Reflections...Suddenly It's Winter
What a great post Dee. Thank you.Re: Reflections...Suddenly It's Winter
Re: Reflections...Suddenly It's Winter
That's nice to read Dee . I look back and feel my journey has been a long one , yet the last 15 years have sped by . My eldest is 48 and second child 45 , how can that be , I look at them and think " how come your older than me " it's a strange feeling , yet they are still my children , did my mother think of me this way too, or am I lost in a time warp . I never thought I'd lose me , the bright smiley giving loving person I once was I thought she'd always be , but I think she left quite a while ago , I can't find her either , just the occasional flash and memory of the young girl flits through my mind . Yet the me now is more gentle with herself , a bit kinder and less critical , still up for fun and can still dance the night away with a couple of gin and tonics , but yes I've had my life , I don't mind leaving when it's time to go , I do have sadness and regrets , also many funny memories , wisdom is my friend now , it's a different world and at times it frightens me and worry me for my grandchildren children .
