did i mention..i discovered something.


did i mention the time when i went to the park with all the grandkids?
i didn't??...........
well, it's a silly story actually. i discovered something. you see, i thought by going i would have so much fun, i would feel like a child again. my mind would burst with all these memories of my younger days, and i would indeed enjoy all 5 foot 9 inches of my adult body going down the once "big" red slide i slid down several years ago.. 
the "thoughts" i had, failed.
lets be real. i didn't feel like a "child again."
i wasn't full of overjoyment. the red slide was rather akward and uncomfortable actually. those childhood memories and "good old days" had their time.
it made me realize,
i like being an adult.
it took me a while to face this fact, since "what i want to be when i grow up" had finally arrived and i wasn't sure i was ready for it.
i think i am, i'm ready for what life has to offer as an adult. i like the respect i have now from other adults. i like being one of the examples for my nieces and nephews and all the little ballerinas i teach. i like the fact that i can make my own decisions. you see, being older is wonderful. i am more creative, more knowledgable, more independant.
i finally feel like i know who i am.
i just needed a simple day at the park to discover this.
...and you know what
i liked it.
