My guest for today is Jenny, and her birthday is today! Happy Birthday to you, Jenny! Her blog is My Little Me, and she I has been a stay-at-home mom for four years, a mom for twelve years. She has four children ages 11, 9, 4 and 11 months all with wonderfully different personalities. I love her video on her About Me page! It is adorable!
“When Karen asked me what my favorite age was, and why, I thought and thought…
And thought.
And I just could not think of any specific age that stood out in my memories as my favorite.
I could say my favorite age was 20, 23, 28, or 31. The ages my children were born.
I could say my favorite age was 26. The year I got married. Or 30. The year my mom’s cancer went into remission.
Instead, I believe that my favorite is whatever I am living here and now. Every year I grow a little more, learn a little more, and become more refined in who I am and where I am going. As I grow and learn and change, I become more happy in life and more content with the way it is unfolding before my eyes.
So, for now, my favorite age is 32. Next year will be my new favorite, and the year after that. And, if I’m lucky, then 60 will eventually be my new favorite year!
Happy Birthday, Karen!”

May 2, 2012 at 10:01 pmOne of the biggest misconceptions in our society is that youth is best. My best years were all on the shady side of 40. Now at 64 I’m beginning to slow down a bit, and I hate that. But the people who say that the high school years are the best years of your life are soooo wrong.
