Growing older also means learning that we won’t be okay every single day. That we won’t always have the energy or the desire to do everything our minds want us to do.
As a mother of three girls and far away from everyone, I’ve had to learn to slow down my pace and accept that I won’t always be able to do everything I had planned. That not every day will I have the energy at the end of the day to tidy the kitchen before going to bed. It will still be there tomorrow, and I can do it then.
I learned that I don’t have time for myself every day. I don’t always have the mental capacity to handle the chaos that comes with three energetic children. But I’ve learned that every day I am surrounded by love and by a priceless blessing: my little family. ❤️
I’ve learned to take things at whatever pace I can manage and just go with the flow, without putting too much pressure on myself.
Growing older is learning to live life more slowly and calmly, because time moves fast. Far too fast, it passes us by... 🥹🙏
