Another year older !

This is 45

The new year of 45 has arrived. 

I must now close the door on 44

See what this new chapter has in store

I wish I could say I have it all figured out but that would be a lie

I still have dreams and goals I hope to achieve 

And many places I want to see  

Remember when 40 seemed so far away..

Today middle aged feels so strange to say ! 

Somedays, I sorta still feel like 20, can any other forty year old relate?

I don’t have any regrets for where I Should, or thought, I’d be 

I have my health, a home and one beautiful family 

Sure the grey hair is poking through

I have body aches from parts I never even knew

I see new lines on my face that are starting to appear 

Will I suddenly look different after this new year?

I try to listen more when spoken to, 

I’m working on giving myself grace

Think of where I was and who I am today 

My daughters love me and tell me everyday

My husband still looks at me like he did that first day (with a side of crazy)! 

I am grateful for the path my life has taken and what I have learned along the way.

 If 45 is the new 35 then this is where I want to stay!
