I'm getting old . . .

I'm getting old.  I realized this tonight as I sat in the backseat of my sister's car , yawning with my sister and mother at 9:00PM on a Friday night. How is it possible that I'm so exhausted by Friday evening I'm exhausted by 9:00PM? I remember the "Good Ole Days" when I didn't even get ready to go out until 10Pm on a Friday night. But what was so good about those ole days? What made them so much "better?" When I start to think about it, I really can't think of anything but company. The only thing that comes to mind is just spending time with friends. That's one thing these days seems to get pushed aside. I feel as though my life is work most of the time. When do I really see my friends anymore. I try to spend free time with my family and a few close friends (that are also fam, Woot Woot Jessaress!!) Three nights a week, minimum I'm at work until at least 7:30PM. By the time I drive home and realize I haven't eaten yet, I'm so tired I don't want to do anything but scrounge up some food and plop either on the couch or on my bed. I don't have the energy to make plans or make phone calls to see what other things I could be doing besides relaxing. So, I guess the question raised is this, What defines life? What makes your life? Do I not have a life because I don't go out? Or is it fulfilling because I work so hard during the week and spend the moments that really count with the few that are the most important in my life?

  1. Okay. You are pretty old. To be honest I didn't even read this post yet. Boo me!

    I did see your "Dance as if no one is watching" picture at the bottom of your blog and feel it'd be WAY more fitting if it said "Sing as if everyone were deaf." :)

    Love you!
