  2. That is a very good question--I'd say "That we're ALL getting older". That may sound silly but when you're under 50, you don't see yourself becoming a senior citizen. 10 years later when you lose a couple teeth & your hair has turned gray... oh boy!

    1. My oldest child has turned 50 and my second child approaches 50 and they both are receiving notices that they are eligible for AARP. Now they know they are getting older.

  3. That my body is no longer thirty as my mind seems to think it is:)

    1. It is shocking to look in the mirror and see someone you were not expecting.

  4. To say no. And a related lesson (and I have to relearn them both often) is that I am enough.

  6. That it is okay to accept help, even ask for it when needed.

  7. That asking for help is not a sign of weakness. I DON'T have to do it all on my own, carrying on regardless.

  10. There's no point in trying to change peoples' minds. They have to do that themselves.

  11. That I should have listened to myself rather than the people who influenced me. I was the only one who had my own best interest at heart. After that, God loves the woman my ex-husband cheated with as much as He loves me. Neither lesson has been welcomed.

  12. Like Elephant's Child above, I have had to learn that sometimes I just have to say "no".
