RE: Where did the time go?

You and I must be the same age. I was 15 in 1972 when my family moved from Washington to Montana. Our timelines of events are not very similar, however. I graduated from high school, went to college, worked as an au pair in Germany and as a mission school teacher in Arizona, then a public school teacher for 3 years before getting married in 1983. So I was 28 before the first child was born, and 32 and 35 for the next two. And yet here you and I both are, forging ahead with the aging process and with life and grandchildren, wondering where the time went! Inside, we are still about 20 years old. It's no wonder we forget sometimes and do things our old bodies don't approve of, and we lose our balance and fall or some dumb thing like that. Our minds forget how old the rest of us has gotten.
OMG, you are spot on with the aging and mind thinking we are still young. I loved school but only went to the 9th grade. My Dad said a girl does not need an education and made me quit. I was so mad at him. He wanted me to stay home and help out around the house but I started babysitting for our neighbors and practically lived with them. I always wanted to be a math teacher, it was my favorite subject.
