My daughter will celebrate another birthday tomorrow. As is often the case with impending birthdays or other celebratory events, we've spent some time leading in reminiscing. I found myself being pulled back to my twenties, her twenties, and to some degree, my mother's twenties which I don't remember at all since my mother was only 20 when she gave birth to me.
I guess twenties kept coming up as being...pivotal.
?!
Mine certainly were. But then so were other decades in my six. I find myself thinking about what this current decade will bring; what I shall manifest, how I might want or need to pivot to adjust to changes that have and will continue to occur as is the natural order of things.
Time will tell.

I love this! Birthdays are a great time for reminiscing. My twenties were probably my least favorite. A lot of pain there... but I think my 40s are my favorite so far. :) Still halfway to go! Fun to think on what your next decade could bring. Happy birthday to your daughter!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I may have given the impression she is in her twenties. She isn't, but we talk a lot about them. :-)
DeleteI haven't decided my favorite decade. Maybe I am in it! :-)
I think one's early twenties are a great time - filled with so much promise and expectation. I am enjoying the age I am now, but would love to have my 20 year old body back to live it in.
ReplyDeleteI agree, generally. My twenties were fun but chaotic.
Delete20 year old body back..I second that!
I don't miss the chaos of my twenties. The current decade is going well but I could do with fewer aches and pains... (20 year old pain-free shoulders! What a dream!)
ReplyDeleteThe wisdom of today with the flexibility of yesterdays. Ahhh oohhhmm. ;-)
