grandchildren sitting

I recently returned from taking care of my grandchildren while their parents were away for a week. It was fun but exhausting at the same time. One night as I was sitting watching a little tv after they had gone to bed I started thinking about how I had done all of this when my children were little and wondered how I had managed. It hit me like a ton of bricks, I had been almost thirty years younger then. How can that be that I am this old! Wow I don't usually think about how old I am and here I was faced with it. I spent a couple of days thinking all this over and found myself dwelling on the whole age thing. I have never wanted to be that person so decided I needed to let it go. You can waste a lot of time thinking about stuff like this and for me, it can make me depressed. I allowed myself one last thought on the subject and that was how quickly time had rushed past and how I had failed to enjoy a lot of it. My new life plan is just to enjoy as many moments as I can and not let the age thing get in the way.
