Do you ever wonder where life goes!?

I remember when everywhere I went I was the youngest (wife) or (Mother) there and for years had a baby face and looked younger than I actually was. Now I look up and I am one of the oldest in the group and I am a grandmother. I have been married 3 times and raised my children worked a lot held the hands of dying family. I guess I have earned ever wrinkle and gray hair I have. I often look back and wonder where did the time go. How can I be this old and go through the things I have gone through how did all those years slip past me and what lays ahead it is a good thing we do not know what the future is. Hopefully we have learned from the past and can make wiser decisions now. I can look back and pick out the exact time I made a decision that affected my whole life and see if I had made a different decision my whole life would have been different.

It sounds as though you've done lots of things with your life! My mother says she looks in the mirror and doesn't believe she can really be the woman who looks back at her, she still feels as though she is my age and can't fathom where all the time has gone! i guess it's a feeling that most people share but i hope that when you look back over those years that went by so quickly you have a lot of happy memories and that you make a lot more in the years to come! thank you for the response! xxx

That all sounds very glamourous!!! It's good you're getting to experience of living in lots of different places and cultures though, it's an opportunity not a lot of people get! You're right about it going faster as we get older, i can remember thinking in the summer that it was ages and ages until christmas and now i think how fast it is approaching and how i need to get organised this year!! hehe xxx

I'll try my best to take that on board!! thanks! xx

It certainly does! I think people that have kids all feel this way, i don't have any but i hope to find out for myself one day! Hopefully you will be able to laugh about those mistakes in the future, even if they are perhaps not so funny at the time! hehe I try to take the time to enjoy what i'm doing and make memories, but sometimes there's just not enough hours in the day! xxx

There never is enough hours in the day and the older you get the more time flies by so seize the moment and just ride the ride, LOL:)

I'm sure you have got wiser as well as older, life teaches us lessons as we go along whether we realise it or not!! I suppose it can be good r bad when life goes quickly, there's just so much i want to fit into it, don't want it to fly by before i have chance!! xxx

You're right it's not life that's speeing up it's just the way that we perceive it! thanks for responding and happy mylotting! xxx

My mum says the same thing, she looks at me and my brother and says "since when did i have grown up children, it was only yesterda yyou were both toddlers!!" hehe i guess it does fly by but as long as we enjoy it and make the most of it then that's the main thing!! thanks for the response! xx

That's the scary thing, i don't feel any different to how i did at school but when i look around i've done all these things, and my friends are starting to get married, have kids etc, all seemingly without me even noticing it happen!!! hehe xxx

That's a lovely way of looking at it!! I know that feeling too, i feel like i was only at school five minutes ago and then here i am!! hehe thanks for the response xxx

Sounds as though you've got it all planned out!! you're right once you learn how to drive it's hard to imagine how you ever managed before!! well you carry on enjoying life and showing others how to do so too!! thanks for the response!! xxx
