Things change. Life changes. People change.
We've talked about that in some posts recently.
Change we have a say in, change we choose, is
easier to accept or embrace. When change is forced upon us, we can feel disoriented, at loss, under valued.
Some change we embrace, but in most changes there is give and take.
Kids learn to drive.
You don't need to take them everywhere.
They don't need you . . . in the same way.
Kids get cell phones.
You can call them anytime.
They rarely talk to you when they're with you cause they're texting their friends.
Kids go to university.
You get some peace and quiet.
It's sometimes too quiet.
A friend commented to me this week that the best time in life must be when you're about 5.
At five you can feed yourself and go to the bathroom by yourself, but your only real task each day is to play.
No one is pulling out the back of your pants checking for disgusting stuff or blaming you for bad odors. Just play. Then school starts. Then you gotta get a job.
Maybe soon after retirement is good too, though then there are different bodily functions to be managed. maybe she's nailed it; five is good.
