a sidenote...

this is not part of the grace walk experience as i mentioned the next posts would be about that....

i was just hanging out with some good friends tonight having some interesting "catch-up on our lives" conversations and it got me thinking about many things...

when do people grow up? not behaviorally, bc we all know its no fun to always act grown up...

but really grow up, like find out who they are and stop putting up all the fronts and stop saying/being what people want to hear/see and instead say/be what they actually mean/are ?

my girls and i have an interesting mix of life-happenings (i like that, im calling them that from now on) all very different from each other..... but when it comes down to it, they are so similar

and here, the whole time, we are trying to make everyone think that we've got it all together yet, none of us do!

and we wait until it gets to that low low point to reach out to each other... just to find out that we all know how the other one is feeling ....

you would think at some point (uh, say like now) i could identify this and then change the cycle, break the habit

we'll see :)

I'm 36. I still don't feel like a grown up.
