how did this happen?

Here I am at 46.... well, very nearly and I'm gonna be a Gramma again for the 3rd time. Yes I do know how THAT happened. What I don't get is why I am only finding myself at 46?! When I was a teenager I knew it all, and experienced it all (or so I thought!) and lapped it all up like a thirsty puppy. Then I put my life on hold for 26 years. I got married and had 3 babies in as many years. I adored being a mom. I adored nurturing them and being there for them but now I have left them all to their own devices...... and do you know what? They can do it without me! I don't have to juggle all the balls anymore. I am free to be me. I am free to enjoy my life again and have my own interests and hobbies. To love my children and their respective spouses and to spoil my grandchildren silly! I love being almost 46 and young enough to soak up those magic moments that you never expect to see at 30 when life is work and work is another four letter word.
Yesterday I gave myself the day off. A day to craft, a day to chat with new friends (and old ones =))
I love my Life and I am etenally grateful Lord for all the blessings you have given me so far.
