The older I get, the more I find I like uncomplicated people, things, etc. ... and am realizing I am enjoying being older. (54 years old right now) I was talking to a friend the other day about what a simple life I lead - on purpose! It is nice to feel content, not have to worry about trying to outdo anyone or "shine" in any way ... but to only be comfortable being my "simpleton" self. LOL! Once in a great while, when I find I am interacting with a person who seemingly is buying into their own inflated ego and perhaps trying to "one up" me or exhitbit how much smarter, etc. they are than me ... I let them ... and then quietly dismiss them from my life. Same thing for gamers ... if people are still playing games at 50+ that is fine but not someone I want to be around.
Things of this nature drain my positive energy.
Life is too good these days. I am so blessed in many ways.

That I haven't changed, If you liked me in my 20's you will like me in my 40's. If you didn't like me in my 20's you sure aren't going to like me in my 40's.
I still have a zero tolerance to BS, I still say what I mean and mean what I say. I'm still...... just........me. No more and no less. I still love with a passion, still compassionate, loving, kind, considerate.

*Life can change on a dime
*I can laugh at myself
*Nobody can tell me how to live my life without paying my bills, mortgage, and so on

That:
Rules are just rules.
Rules are meant to be broken.
Rules are d. u. m. b.
I'm becoming a big time rule-breaker.

*I walk slower than most;
*I love to wear an undershirt with my shorts or pants all year long;
*Technology is wayyyy past my understanding;
*I love my nieces and nephews now that they are adults.

That:
I need passion romance affection honesty loyalty and so much more from a relationship. I require the same that I offer. I wont be with someone who doesnt give it.
That Ive lived the first half of my life without love acceptance and affection. Im making steps to change that to leave that in the past. I will have and be with someone who loves me and doesnt try and change me.
People arent meant to be alone. God made made Adam N Eve and animals a mate when He created them.
Learning to love me has taught me what a damn good catch I am. One really needs to be a good catch as well to even attract my attention.
Having a wonderful career and being blessed enough to have what I need is bittersweet. Having no one to share t with would just be the icing on the cake so to speak.

The older I get the more I realize how very fortunate I am.
that, since I am at the center of my Own Life, if I find myself in the same place, it is for me to change...and, since I am the only one I can change, I'd best Just. Do. It.
at my age, I know what the same thing will be...I am much more excited to see what doing something will bring...
the older I get the more I am in a hurry to get. it. right.
the older I get the more clarity I have as to what is right. for. me.
the older I get the more capacity I have
the older I get the the more I like it, all.

That everyone has some kind of issue. No one's perfect. Its unrealistic to expect that from anyone.

The Older I Get The More I Realize
Laughter is good medicine for the soul
Little gestures of love and affection will make the right girl smile
Sex is better with intimacy
Without trust you have nothing
Children's Laughter is like music
It's better to be hated for who you are than loved for who you are not

The older I get the more I realize that I do want to marry someone. Hopefully by the time I'm 59. :)

That my dad was right about a lot of things and I was so busy running wild and thought I knew everything when I didnt know crap.
That relationships and love are not etched in stone and may not be forever despite your best efforts.
That you get what you pay for. There are no short cuts to anything in this life.
That you get back what you put out there and if you want your life to run smooth you have to stop the bullshit and be honest with yourself first of all.
That good health and financial planning will be essential to a comfortable old age.
If it's not useful, pretty or interesting, I don't want it.

That its the quality and not the quantity of my moments.
That family is everything.
.... that life is to enjoy. You have to go for it and let go of the fear of failure, laugh at the funny things AND at yourself, take care of the spirit inside you, love like there's no tomorrow even it doesn't last, be yourself and don't worry about what others say about you, own your mistakes, grieve the endings and losses and move on. You have one time around and this is it baby!

I don't do so well on three hours of sleep here, four hours there, another two over yonder. What happened to the good ol' days of being able to fully function on little to no sleep? :(
