Passing of Time

I look in the mirror and I see maturity, beauty and I look good with the passing of time. I feel free in a way that I did not when I was younger less scared to be my true self. As my daughter pointed last night at dinner sometimes I can be a bit defensive when others speak off the top of their heads and I don’t agree. I am going to work on not taking everything as an attack on me. Its not it’s just others being free like myself and comfortable with themselves. I have learned the hard way in the past few weeks that it’s not everything that my girls and I will agree on. We are all a bit different even while we do enjoy many of the same things.

I look at my oldest daughter today and wonder where the time has gone. It fly's as quickly as she grows up, finding herself and loving life. She has her own bucket list of things to do before she enters High School. Include indoor skydiving my influence, starting an online business, indoor rock climbing and a few others. She craves excitement and enjoys trying new things and loves taking her family along on these adventures. I am excited to see what this New Year brings us as she nears her mile stone of entering into teen hood. I am fearful of what comes with those years but look forward to watching her continue to grow and see who she will become. In the words of her dad “She will always be my baby, she is growing very nice.”
