Life

In reading post about relationships, aging, and raising children it got me thinking about life in general. So where to begin, will I suppose I could start by saying that aging really does suck. I mean when you are in high school you can't wait until you graduate at least I couldn't wait and now I hear the same thing from my daughter. I tell her don't rush things it will be here before you know it! It seems once you get out of high school the years really do fly by. My 20's were good and my 30's were great 40 was really hard but I got over it, but now I am going to be 50 and that is just really hard to take! My husband keeps asking me So where do you want to go for your birthday? He means dinner. I don't know I keep telling him. All the good places are in Reno and I really don't want to go to Reno. My husband is glad I am hitting 50 because he doesn't have to be alone. I tell him you will always be 4 years ahead of me! So life what is it all about anyway? You grow up get married have kids go to work pay bills and maybe go out to a movie or what not once in a while. No one knows how long they have in this life so you have to make to best of it for the time you are here. Sometimes that is hard to do. If you lead a normal life I mean work 9 to 5 have weekend off, but what really defies a "Normal" life anyway. I mean normal to you might not be normal to me. I don't work 9 to 5 nor would I want to I like working 12 hour shifts and having 3 to 4 days off. I don't think I could go back working 5 days a week. Life is always thowing you for a loop as they say stuff happens. The one thing that keeps me going no matter what happens is that I have God in my life. So even though I am turning 50 and that really bothers me I know I really don't have anything to worry about. I have God and ;my family and that is all that really matters to know they will always be there and love you no matter what. I couldn't imagine life any other way, except maybe that 50 didn't get here so fast!!
