So glad you liked it, Beth, and wonderful to hear from you here, of all places! The funny thing about kids is that they do focus and remember everything when they WANT TO… Tonight, I got an detailed, moment-to-moment review of yesterday afternoon’s activities, all in an effort to convince me that the boys had indeed bathed last night and therefore required no bathing tonight. Of course, I’d forgotten, not to mention they stank! But their ability to be clear on command is utterly enviable. I can barely recall what I did two hours ago!

As I read this, I thought that this is the existence of so many people……I could relate to every thought, but you said it so much better…….!

Age, Maturity = lack of focus, time, memory, engagement + more stress, piles of scrap, unfinished business, computers and more….

and the reward…..seeing our kids grow, and learn and taking the same steps we did…….yet, now we understand them and see ourselves in that process long ago.

And in 35 years…………. payback.
ah hah ! The circle of life.
