Do they live fearful of death? (They own a funeral home & have buried many of the people they went to school with) - I just find myself sitting in awe of them, with many questions about aging. Don't get me wrong. I don't view 50 as the end of life. My husband will be 50 next year. I just wonder how will I be at 50? Will I be joyful, more wise, carefree? Luckily I already have the no makeup and ponytail part down. LOL! :) <br /><br />Blessings,<br />RosannAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10594967600495492941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488152270326221518.post-79598819192981869832011-09-09T12:31:33.278-05:002011-09-09T12:31:33.278-05:00Brae,

I feel like I'm still 16 years old, but everywhere around me seems to think "Oh, you're old now" and I'm having a hard time transitioning. I most certainly feel that filter melting away (I don't swear either) but I have become bolder in my years- I have more guts. And I'm learning that my opinions are of value too. That it's okay to put it out there. <br /><br />Since I am the mom with very little children, struggling the way you mentioned with life and money and stress and tears over trying to make ends meet, you have given me much hope for the future. To finally find a place in my life where I am comfortable in my skin. Where I am confident about myself. <br /><br />Thank you for this post. I found you on voiceboks. I'm following and have grabbed your button.Brae Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07039557188590181064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488152270326221518.post-9163709369259130842011-09-09T08:32:46.597-05:002011-09-09T08:32:46.597-05:00Kim,

I just have no patience for pettiness or negativity. I do have to admit I do cuss like a sailor sometimes. Never blogging or in public, but at home I shall be honest I have a potty mouth. I used to be so careful when the kids were small but now that they're older I find it harder to restrain myself. I love your last statement.

I just had to post today, because it made me smile.<br /><br />I tend to be someone who speaks their mind; I think sometimes you just have to. You are right, there is so much political correctness in the world, that the Truth tends to get stuffed down due to worry about offending someone.<br /><br />The Truth is the Truth and when it's offered with Grace, it's the best thing in the world.
