Sweeping Through Life

When I turned 40 two years ago, I really thought that I was going to die. I was not looking forward to it or even wanted to talk about it. Maybe that is why my husband gave me a surprise party to help me ease into it. The other day I had an Aha Moment, like Oprah says, the 40's have not been that bad so far. They have actually been pretty good. Here are my thought about my 40's so far; I am really feeling myself. I decided to transition to natural hair and am really loving it.  I really have come into my own. I have taken on a more healthier lifestyle so that I can live a long life. I must get more sleep to keep up with my 3 year old. My friendships that I have are the one that I will have for life.  My relationship with God is more important and I continue to nurture it and mature it daily.  I love to relax. Watching my  money is more important since I realize the older I get the closer I get to retirement.  Sometimes I need to wear a wedge instead of a 3 inch heel

mommy&me " I am getting bigger each day" is the daily statement from Miss G. I am going to be honest, I don't like it. I want her to stay little as long as possible and tell her as much. I like the fact that she still needs me. I like that she wants me to still pick her up. I like that she wants to cuddle with me or sit beside while watching one of her kiddie shows. I love hearing her little voice them me that she loves me and calling me mommy. I don't want any of that to go away anytime soon. I hate the thought of her growing up, but I knew that it was going to happen. I know with each phase of life, there are new memories to be made together. As we continue on this life journey she may ask me about make up and boys. She will ask me about what is love.  I hope that she will cuddle with me when she needs a shoulder to cry on. I hope that she will continue on tell me she loves me, even she has a teenage rant. I know she has aspirations of riding a 2-wheel

So true.....
