I can really do this! But then my dad got very sick in my late thirties and I felt totally unprepared and unqualified to deal with the down sides of life. There was an early adult innocence that I miss - grief and regret hadn't really made an appearance yet.Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18273468231529654323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3412682543148147625.post-58176936200248005412016-11-07T21:59:20.893-06:002016-11-07T21:59:20.893-06:00Hi Karen, thanks!

Usually I get to a point and then quit and it just starts piling up again...I'm mostly going through paperwork and magazines and junk like that. I've pretty much gone through the "memories" type stuff that we brought on this move.

That is when I met my husband.<br /><br />All through my 40's, I wanted to go back to my early 30's. Thankfully, by the time 50 rolled around, I had stopped pining away for my younger days. I'm enjoying these 50-something years, but I sometimes can't believe I am a 50-something now. That used to seem SO old!<br /><br />By the way, that photo is adorable.
