What a pain

I always thought that as i grew older [or should i say wiser] that life would get so much easier.... relationships would be such a cinch... Now that i, and the men i am dating have 'been there and done that', it should be all uphill from there...NOT ! I figured we all learned from our mistakes as well as the mistakes of others, ha ha. Well i could not have been MORE wrong, what i actually see is how 'JADED' we have all become.

Remember the time when we were yound and carefree and in love? We actually believed that there was nothing and nobody who could stop us; we felt young and full of energy to face this great big world and all that is in it. Our dreams and desires were so high that we let these rosy coverered clouds get the better of our judgement and common sense.

Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with feeling that way, honestly it is one of the happiest times of your life. Mind you, not that getting older and hitting middle age is all THAT bad, it actually has it perks if you can get over the back/arm/shoulder/hip pain that seems to be creeping up on you when you are not looking. Actually, fact is even if you are looking, you don't actually see as well as you used to.

What i DO like about getting older/wiser is how much better i know myself, inside and out. I'm not just talking 'feelings' here, i'm talking about your very own body, WOW...... Although i now know what i don't like, i actually am now being blessed with the knowledge of what i actually DO like, even though i can't always seem to reach that goal..........must be the pain in my shoulder/arm/back....................arrrrrgh ;-)

So spring has finally sprung, a time of new beginnings....or is it? Sometimes i have to wonder if it's not indeed a time of reflection. Looking at all the new life that is starting to surround me, i can't help but envy the true beauty of the nature that we all see and tend to take for granted, and if you think about it, Nature really knows how to deal with everyday trauma, yet it tends to bounce back, regardless of the circumstances and drama that is thrown it's way; we definately have a lot to learn from Mother Nature :)
