It's just a number (that's what I'm saying now!)<BR/>A girlfriend who turned 40 this year had a great-aunt say to her recently: "so, you never married?" Like it was too late.Ridiculous. I think it's often the 'older' generation (not your fabulous blogger friends though) that see being in your 30s and single as a bad thing. My mother has been unhappy in her marriage for years, but still thinks it is the pinnacle of a woman's existence to get married (why? so everyone can be as unhappy as she is?) Oops, didn't mean to go on so.lazy cowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10756448890246596503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13076516.post-1157765414067272962006-09-08T21:30:00.000-04:002006-09-08T21:30:00.000-04:00Like Vickee, I'm staring at my sixth decade.

And then there are times when I look at my son and i can't figure out how it is that I'm his MOTHER. I mean, i can't be old enough to have a 10 year old!! Enjoy who you are, no matter what the tally of the years add up to. Live as if you had no idea what year you were born.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07797634231980014686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13076516.post-1157547155174317542006-09-06T08:52:00.000-04:002006-09-06T08:52:00.000-04:00Thanks!
