Life At 40
If you would have asked me 25 years ago where I would be and what would I be doing when I reached 40 I would have said that I would have been getting ready for the “Old Folks Home”. Now that I am here I, of course do not think that way.
I have to admit, I had my practice marriage and ended up with the most wonderful son who I still remember as a raisin in the incubator 15 years ago…. The same son that I got the honor of watching turn from blue to pink in a second with his first breath. Now that same child is taking Driver’s Ed. Where do the years go? You know? It doesn’t matter anymore.
I have to laugh. I have 10 years to go before I get my AARP card. I can eat in the cheap seats. I kind of like that idea. I moved on with my life after the “Practice Marriage” and headed to a new town that was close enough so I could see my son but far enough away that the “Practice Wife” didn’t have evil powers anymore.
Now, my life is different. I got the chance to start over with my life, and found a very wonderful woman that has taken my heart and holds it close so it never gets hurt. We have both had our past lives and now we have our life. We both have our children and we can watch them grow up while we grow a bit older and enjoy each other, as a relationship should be.
It is wonderful to finally find THE ONE woman that you have been searching for your entire life. I know that this statement may sound silly to some, but when you do find that person, you know it is the end of your search. It is Karma plain and simple.
What is interesting is that I do not feel any different that I did at 16. I remember every part of my youth as if happened yesterday. I have a lot more knowledge and wisdom than I had at that age but the youth is still there. I never grew up in my mind and I never intend to either.
