One thing about being the age I am now is that I don't have some of the problems that beset younger women. On the other hand, I have new ones that only come with age. High blood pressure, aching joints, and tired feet at the end of the day. I also don't have young children or teens to look after anymore.
I miss those days. The days of diaper changes and breast feeding. The days of baby's first steps and baby's first words. The days of baseball practice and Sunday School programs. Even the days of teenage independence slathered with acne treatment.
If you are in the midst of raising your children, these are the days to treasure and make mental notes about. You can't retrieve them once they're gone. Savor every day and every accomplishment of your children while you can. Far too soon, they are gone and building their own lives.
