I have been struck with the thought that I am so grateful I am where I am in my life. In talking with friends and discussing being younger, we agreed we would never want to go back to when we were younger. We learn and grow and I'd never sacrifice the knowledge I've gained to go back to a previous, younger time. In fact I'm excited to be older because I know I will refine myself, react better, make better choices faster. I'll see life with more wisdom.
I see the wisdom I've already gained and I'm grateful I have it. Although, sometimes I wish I could skip ahead so I'd deal with my children more wisely now. I do know we are to learn and grow and it is a cycle everyone goes through.
The crazy part is, I randomly saw a book at the library called "The Secret Life of the Grown-Up Brain" and it discusses those same ideas of wisdom. And besides that, it makes me feel better now when I can't remember simple information or a name, or when I walk upstairs and forget why I was there. I love how I find comfort for my life for things I can't control. I am definitely led and watched over.
