We're all still the child, the young adult, the middle-aged and so on..and the whole point of getting older is to learn the lessons we've encountered along the way.

I now know too much. However, I do feel a small ocean’s worth of compassion and love for the woman I was back then, a woman who would make quite a few mistakes, but a woman with enough courage (and cluelessness) to get up each morning and put on her shoes and start her day.<br />I’m still that same woman."<br /><br />Marcia, you are so beautiful inside and out. May I share this with you - it is just what I need to be reminded of.nazelethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00711794777364747269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6860426776748592870.post-88062778838318942202011-03-17T15:36:40.181-04:002011-03-17T15:36:40.181-04:00Wow, I can identify with this.

I suppose that is why they send young people to the front in battle, they are too innocent to realize the danger they are in. <br /><br />I watched "Where the Boys Are" the other night and it almost made me sick. Women sure got the wrong end of everything back then. Things are only slightly better now. I watch my granddaughters grow to womanhood and hold my breath. They read my blog, so I have to watch what I say there.

Most female saints days are in memory of misery, suffering, torture, duty, obedience; none of which greatly appeal to me.<br /><br />The next time you throw a party for St Pat, count me in.Frikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04277167831642088694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6860426776748592870.post-10715772842858567672011-03-17T10:14:36.402-04:002011-03-17T10:14:36.402-04:00and green teethand green teethmarciamayohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18185069576683872041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6860426776748592870.post-80988117510124487632011-03-17T09:23:56.403-04:002011-03-17T09:23:56.403-04:00Happy St. Pat's to you.

My memories took me back to some different stages. You're still brave and free - trying new things. And we all get through this world by putting one foot in front of the other, following our nose, breathing ( in and out) and muddling through as best we can.MaryBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08259045469809438166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6860426776748592870.post-68915182561087540132011-03-17T07:32:53.482-04:002011-03-17T07:32:53.482-04:00Same woman, but most likely better for the journey...Same woman, but most likely better for the journey. <br />Been there, with out the kids, and sometimes wonder how things got done, but they did. Your trip was much harder but also more rewarding. Like you said, one foot just followed the other.<br />Loved "Erin Go Braghless" since that is my favorite dress mode these days. Summer will end that.Sigh.Arkansas Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156004753267665579noreply@blogger.com
