This morning I was moving slow. No real reason other than I just couldn't get motivated. With so much to do today I suppose I was already tired at just the thought of it.
After a few cups of coffee and a shower, then out to feed everyone, eating something sounded good. However, just didn't know what sounded good. 
As I rummaged around looking for something to eat I ended up grabbing a bag of chips and a container of dip.
As I was standing there eating chips and dip and looking out the kitchen window, just appreciating what a glorious day it was looking like, it dawned on me that I like being an adult!
My kids are all grown. Don't have to cook breakfast and get them ready for the day. 
I realized that as an adult I can eat whatever I want, whenever I want. If I want ice cream ( which I don't really care for), then I can have ice cream instead of dinner.
As I stood there watching the donkeys in the front pasture munching away and me eating chips and dip, I remembered when I was a kid and always being told what to do. What to eat. What to wear. Etc.....
Don't get me wrong, I have known for a very long time I am an adult and can do what I want. But for some reason standing there eating chips and dip this morning, it really hit me. No kids to take care of and I can eat what I want.
Yup, I like being an adult. Oh sure, it has its drawbacks. Skin getting drier and more wrinkled. Eyebrows getting longer. A long hair on the chin every now and then. More aches and pains. Hair graying ( in my case a lot!). Hard body days long, long gone. You get the picture.
Yup, being an adult is great. You have found and kept close to your heart real, true friends. You know the ones I mean. The ones you can call or show up on their doorstep anytime day or night and they are there with open arms and big smiles.
Yup, being an adult is great. Your younger years had such lessons of life to learn.
Yup, being an adult is great. You can eat what you want when you want.
Smile. Enjoy your day.
Until next time........................
