Another safe one Joan
No, 70's is even better except for the fact that the kids begin to think
that they are the parent and you the child. You just have to put your foot down and remind them who's the boss! ;-) "Debra" wrote in message news On Mon, 21 Jul 2003 21:25:07 -0300, wrote: On Mon, 21 Jul 2003 21:13:50 GMT, "Tracy" wrote: Caryn, turning 40 is great! Really! When I turned 40 my mind set changed and it's great! You start to not give a hoot what people think of you and it's been great. I figure take me as I am or it's your loss! LOL! I'm not trying to impress anyone anymore....When you're in your 20's and 30's you're trying to impress the world, now you just need to impress yourself. Tracy I can vouch for that and as time goes further on, your desire for having 'things' get 's less and less, which is great. Well except for things like stash perhaps. Tracy, I love that line you wrote: "When you're in your 20's and 30's you're trying to impress the world, now you just need to impress yourself." It really sums it all up. Lucretia, I'm only 41 and I know what you mean by the decreased desire for things. Have you started getting rid of things, or simply not making the number of aquisitions that you once did? I'm getting rid of things. If it doesn't give me pleasure, or satisfy a basic need in life, it goes out the door. The only things I've bought for a couple of years are replacements for stuff that I use often, or more stitching stash. I'm sure I've got SABLE, but there's always a new pattern or stitching book that calls out my name when I'm in a store just to pick up a skein or two of floss,......and if I don't pick it up it jumps into my shopping basket when I'm not looking anyway.

Once upon a time I would have sworn that I'd never get to be this age.
I didn't even want to contemplate the possibility. (I laugh at that now.) I'm still claiming I'm not yet middle age. That's very possible since grandparents on both sides of the family have lived into their 90's, and one great grandpa was over 100 when he died. Last time I unpacked from a move I got so tired of washing newsprint ink off "things" that I started evaluating the worth of each item before I washed it. I just kept asking myself "Is this thing worth actually washing yet another thing?" I got rid of a lot of useless things that way and now I have less things to dust and wash every week. That's time I can use doing other stuff. Debra in VA I have moved a lot too. It is amazing how much stuff we accumulate in just a short time. I am the opposite of a pack rat. Not sure what you call the opposite of a pack rat--maybe an unpack rat? I get a 'keep-it' box, a 'give-away' box, and lots of trash bags and just start tossing things into the appropriate box or bag. When we moved earlier this month we packed everything in boxes and then had the movers load and unload. The moving van driver said, "You sure have a lot of boxes marked 'Crafts", ma'am." And he was right. Hey, I keep the important things, right? aeromom back home in TX |
