The Hunnicutt Homestead

Hoping to Exhale

Well, I'm another year older today.  I don't feel older which is great.  My weight has not fluctuated much over the last 6-8 months, despite my exercising.  I'm hoping some of that fat has turned to muscle anyway.  I am 2 years shy of 40 and honestly, I'm eager to get there.  Once I'm forty I don't have to worry quite so much about the fight to look 20, right?  I'm hoping to exhale and relax in being one of the older Titus 2 women.  I'm not sure why I feel like 40 is the age to do this, I'm thinking that it would just be pushing the envelope to suggest otherwise!

Today I will be visiting with a friend over coffee, working on my importing homework, preparing my bible study, and running various errands in between picking and dropping kids off to school.  I've chosen to wear my favorite pants and a cozy sweater today.  Spiffing up a bit to make myself feel less like the slouchy grouchy frumpy housewife that I sometimes feel I've become.  Look better, feel better, so they say, although no one is truly able to quiet the soul as our lord does.  Even though I'm older, I too still struggle with the idea of meeting man's approval instead of God's. (Roman's 2:28-29)

Gotta scoot, it's cold out there this morning and I need to warm up that van!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Hope you have a GREAT birthday and many, MANY more. You're right...40 is a great milestone. Honestly, I don't know why, but my 30th caused me great stress and my 40th I really celebrated. I really enjoyed turning 40 - in some ways, I felt like my opinion finally "counted." lol

In March I will face another milestoen - my 50th!! I don't feel very much more that 35-40 and sometimes wonder "when did this happen to ME?" But the older I get, the more I rejoice in every day. What's more shocking to me than my age is that my children are growing up - almost 21 and almost 18 (our daughter that died would have turned 23 in Oct.) - THAT'S what is astounding to me.

You will love 40, Marcie! But don't forget to enjoy that 2 years in-between. :-)

Blessings, Kim Wolf<><
