I have 2 trees, some pics and I am fascinated. Made two trips: one to WV, and one to Pitts. for some research.

When we are young, we love change, or we just move along with it, not noticing it too much. The something triggers that irony that we have more years behind us then ahead of us... What will we do with these years? Can we be as happy as we were in the past (and I think we tend to see through rose colored glasses when we look behind)? <br /><br />How we live out the remaining years of our lives is as individual as we are in personality. But it is comforting to know that women our age are all having similar thoughts and doubts.<br /><br />Chin up. We'll manage.<br /><br />Wonderful, insightful post~glad I didn't miss it!<br /><br />xoxo<br />JaneBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259236724941582496.post-84037135805951753142009-06-15T18:56:01.218-07:002009-06-15T18:56:01.218-07:00What a fun mosaic!

Lori, you are ...Oh my... clocks and time passing. Lori, you are not alone in your feelings of melancholy and "how the heck did I get here?" --- I remember thinking, when my daughters went off to college, that now I had to decide what to do when I grew up! Mothering wasn't going to be a full time occupation anymore.<br /><br />In 5 years I'm afraid I still haven't found the right niche. I'm working on it, but if I could return to any time of my life, it wouldn't be back when I wore a size 6 and was single and in NY and had a glamorous job -- it would be when my girls were toddlers and pre-schoolers --- lots of work, not much money, but just bliss. When my husband catches me looking through old pictures, he says, "So, torturing yourself again?"<br /><br />I'm working on trying to find myself again. I do have my hormones (too darned many of them!) and I don't think they are to blame -- I think it is just Life.<br />One of the reasons we moved last year, was that I wanted a total change of house; our former house just held too many memories, and didn't feel right without the girls there. A fresh start here, in a house I love, was an excellent move.<br /><br />If it helps, Lori -- believe me, I identified right away with your post, and I am sure that many reading it did, also. I keep a Mary Englebreit print near my desk, of a little girl with a determined face, and the caption "Snap Out Of It!" I try. I try. <br /><br />Best to you my friend -- CassCass @ That Old Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12173199705431319322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259236724941582496.post-14753081744974862852009-06-15T12:09:24.690-07:002009-06-15T12:09:24.690-07:00The older we get, the faster it all goes...The older we get, the faster it all goes...karlascottage.typepad.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09487197986245851745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259236724941582496.post-55505282155979930082009-06-15T10:30:36.847-07:002009-06-15T10:30:36.847-07:00Love that mosaic!

I've learned long ago that if I busy myself with things that matter, looking back won't be too punched with holes of regret. That especially coming from me who is built on "what ifs". LOL<br /><br />Let those album serve as your awards for having lead a full life, a good life and amazing memories of how you got to today... I agree with Sue, your contemplation helped you see your life now and how you can mold with the new changes that lies ahead.Chandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13745704679188149211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259236724941582496.post-21445756545527805952009-06-15T09:04:36.077-07:002009-06-15T09:04:36.077-07:00Lori I know what you mean exactly.

Time flies by as you cope with just getting through the worries of having small children, financial concerns, standard illnesses and just the daily motion of getting through. Twenty years from now you will remember these days and realize that it was the time when life really became free. You will pull out the photos and refer to them as that great time of your life when you really became yourself. Just yourself. You may still be Mom, wife and all of the other assorted titles that you have acquired, but you will remember it as a time when you really went all out and did exactly what you wanted to do without the slightest bit of guilt. It's not just a lack of hormones my dear friend. You have hit upon something really big here and you are lucky. For some people it takes a major illness or catastrophe to figure it out that making changes just for yourself is not selfish; it is personal growth and I am working very hard at allowing it for myself. I was the caregiver and the nurturer for so many years that I lost myself along the way. I am having to completely relearn that living my life on my terms is completely okay. <br /><br />XOSueAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259236724941582496.post-26207854555687749082009-06-15T08:08:08.981-07:002009-06-15T08:08:08.981-07:00great mosaic...
