When we're younger, all we want to do is get older so we can become an "adult" and do more "adult things." But, as we get older, all we do is regret saying that at all in the first place.
There's no reason for any of us to pray to get any older than we already are. Stop time, I would prefer if we could just alow it all down.
Getting older would be all fine and dandy if my body didn't feel like it was a glow stick that needed to be cracked and changed every 5 minutes. It seems like I'm hurting in every part of me, no matter what I do.
Sorry, I can't come to your party that doesn't start until 8 PM because I have a routine where I sit on my couch until then watching TV, and by 9:00 I am in bed, ready to go to bed for the night. It's not 2001 hunny, leave my invite at home.
Once I'm on the floor, leave me there for an extended period of time. I'm not moving, I'm not getting up, I'm not even trying to crawl to the other room. Mommy needs some "Mommy time" down here. It's fine.
Why do we make aging sound like it's such a bad thing? Instead, we should all praise getting older like we beat some awesome level in life and we are moving up and onwards in some wild game. Life is just a bunch of challenges anyway, right?
