How much have you changed in your life? I
know I have and I never thought I would. I
remember thinking as a young person that I
would never take on certain attitudes like
my mom or other elders I knew. And then one
day I woke up and I was exactly that person
I said i would never become.
For instance, I could go without putting up
a Christmas tree or decorating. And I used
to love doing this. Where has my spirit gone?
I love spending time just sitting and reflecting,
which I hated as a young person.
I used to come home from work and shower and
go out of town to my friends house or go out.
But, I don't have the energy for that anymore.
I used to take a 3 day holiday and go see my mom
who lived 850 miles away and slide in home just
in time to go to work. And now I could not do that.
Maybe all of that life is what has made me slow down.

Hi joni 
Dear, that is aging for you. As we age, our responsibilities, our duties change and so do our roles. Change cannot be avoided.
I have changed a lot and in almost all spheres. Be it my health, my working habits, my outgoing nature or even my age. And I expect things to change on and on as long as I am alive

Hi Joni... For me, almost everything's changed.. And I too have become what I hated the most...
There was a time when I was a talented young man with good prospects and a good girl friend.. If the Almighty had not given up on me, I'd have been a happy married fellow- a good hubby, good father n a family man.. What have I become?
Loner, full of mood swings, heart broken and afraid to be alone... I used to hate MY types and that's I've descended to...
Everything's changed, horribly!!!

I think as we grow older we tend to slow dawn quite a bit I retired 3 years ago and I Am growing lazier I still keep active of course I have to... but I notice things that used to worry me they don't any more...I look at life different now I have more wisdom and patience to deal with things and yes I find my self taking certain attitudes like my mum used to.

Regret.
I meant to help few friends, that I thought were friends and said things in their face, they would say to me too and I thought it was normal, like a brotherhood when you want to help by sometimes saying things that aren't that nice. But some were only criticizing, when I would say something sincere but to help they didn't take good so I learned that people like this say things but to harm not to help me. Anyway I regret to have hurt so now I ask if people really wants the truth and if they say they do I keep sincere. but I don't say, not even to help unless I'm required.

Hello Juni,
Yes me too i also have changed a bit since i have my own family.I used to sleep/rest or sit in front of TV whole day when i used to be at home but now everything is changed i rarely watch TV now a days most of the time i spend with my kids whenever i am at home.Even if i am mylotting from home my kids just sit in my lap and see me typing letters.
I think everyone gets change with time and those who don't change themselves with the time often pay for it.
I know now you are no more younger and can't travel 850 miles in a day or so as you used to do in the past to just see your mother.Your spirit has not gone instead you have made yourself busy in other things.

My change is that I'm happier now.I still think the same things as I did when I was young m like I Still will never marry nor have kids. So my core beliefs have stayed but what Has changed is my desire to celebrate Christmas / Hanukkah. Back when my mom was alive , it was huge. i would look forward to shopping and getting what I wanted and giving out what I wanted. And her last Christmas Was perfect. But now she is gine so has my cheer for these holidays. But like I started out saying I am happier. Why? I have my guy. Instead of just being happy once a while during the year, I'm happy All the time and this is so new for me!

as we grow older, we experience new things and meet new people. we do different things but we are still the person we used to be, we just have our new priorities and changes in our environment and physical capabilities are also factors.

I think that is normal, after having children,a job,a husband is too much.
I used to run a lot before now I barely can walk for 30 or 40 minutes.
I used to be very interested on workout and used to do everyday, now it is only in my mind,and just can do it three days a week.
Before I used to stay for hours in messeger chatting now it is very boring for me, and I don't open it anymore.
But that is the life, it is full of changes but the most important is that we never loose the interest and always care our family and friends.
