GETTING OLDER... has a lot of ups and a couple of downs!!!
I am just going to focus on the downs in this one, not because I want to be a downer, but they are what I am reflecting on for now :)!
This one came to me when I realized that I am posting at 5:30... AM!!! I'm not suppose to be up at 5:30AM... EVER! But one of the downs of getting older is sleep seems to be different than it use to be. I don't always sleep through the night and sometimes I will get up for an hour or two, read or journal and then go back to sleep. And I seem to function pretty ok the next day. Most of my time when I am awake in the middle of the night is spent with the Lord and it is really sweet time. So in some ways, it is an up from what sure seems like a down of getting older.
And I learned this year that I can not sit with my legs folded under me for long periods of time like I use to. Nothing real thought provoking here, except that it is pretty funny when I try to unfold! Oh, and it is one of the few things that reminds me what my age really is, because most of the time I don't "feel 36." I'm not sure what 36 is suppose to feel like, but I am pretty sure this is not it. Because for the most part, I feel awesome and love my life!
So I guess if this is it... 36 is not old.
Ok, back to sleep for a while!

Girl, don't even get me started on things being different as we get "older". We definitely are NOT old, but, not quite as young as we used to be! :)
