I remember sitting in the ER with my husband waiting for him to be seen. [Being very grown up taking care of him and asking tons of questions ... lol. Forever the why and what child] ... I noticed how I was sitting, with a hoodie and leggings on, slouched in the seat, legs open and ready to fall off my chair. I looked like a bored child. Everyone else was all upright and 'proper'. But I didn't change how I sat. I just smiled at myself.
I think we are 'grown up', or mature rather, when we need to be ... but like I mentioned, it's all pretense for me.
I mean seriously, I have battling food toys glued in my fridge because I wanted the inside of my fridge to look like Pee Wee Herman's in his playhouse. I just covered my laptop with Emily the Strange stickers. I have stuffed animal friends all over the house with a weasel [stuffed] that has been given a personality. He talks, for crying out loud!
Age is what we make it. There are those who were adults as children and then there are the adults who 'feel', let alone possibly act, like children. And what of it. As Sheryl Crow sang, "if it makes you happy, it can't be that bad."
Stay young, my friend. I'm sure it's one of the things that Sarah loves so much about you. ... Peace.
Gayle this is so spot on. I cannot imagine what I will feel like when I am where you are. What a wild life this is. Your line, "I think we are 'grown up' or mature rather, when we need to be." Maybe that's it! That's the secret. Be it when we must, don't when we don't. Balance it there.
