Being an adult is overrated. It is hands down so much better being taken care of than being the care taker. It is true when they say enjoy your youth because once you grow up you can't go back. Just like once you understand the concept you can't play dumb anymore.
Seems like just yesterday my kids were babies and I was a young and clueless mom starting the roller coaster ride that I never imagined would go so fast. Back then I thought it was rough, and it does have it's challenges, but those days will always go down as the best ones. There is so much truth in " those were the good ole days." With every passing year I am shocked at how much my boys are growing. On the inside I shutter at the fact that they are continually getting older and I want to cling to the innocence of the younger years. Yet I have to remind myself there is always something to look forward to. The past may be beautiful memories to cherish but the present is not to be taken for granted. The future will hold many beautiful moments and some sad moments too. I can't control what happens but I can choose to celebrate the goodness of life as best as I can. We may not all be perfect but we all have at least one thing to be grateful for. Celebrate life the best you can in whatever you have been given. Don't say "I couldn't handle that" because we can't change what we have been given we can only make the best of it.
