By Dana Nolan (2nd gr.)
1995
When you're a little kid, you can't wait to grow up. When you grow up, you have a hankering for a do-over. But all we have, I keep reminding myself again and again, is this moment.
In this moment, I'm glad to know I can show up here, even if I don't come every day like I used to, even if I'm tired, or worried, or really happy about putting my pajamas on at six o'clock at night. I don't know about you, but it seems to me that this growing up thing happens too fast...way too fast.
thinking of you tonight, dear reader.

For my #1 "When I Grow Up" Fan...Did I share Dana's piece already, Leigh Ann?
Is all this happening way to fast or are we just not slowing down enough to notice it?perhaps a bit of both.
ReplyDeleteI will slow down enough to visit this spot again
