It’s no secret, as I
have expressed in numerous posts, that I adore getting older and all it brings
with it. How when I look at younger folk (ok, that just aged me right there!) I
simply smile at how we evolve so much in the years and how our priorities
change and how I love that I know what I know now! But I had my own “growing
up” moment over the weekend when part of my belly ring fell out (disaster, I know!) and I was faced
with the daunting “is it time to take it out” question. It’s been a fellow companion
since 2005 and though has not seen the light of day often, become somewhat a
part of my body. But it also symbolizes a thought out challenge (which I won!),
a past, and security. A piece of a puzzle that now, has no significance even
though I learned so much from it.
So, after
confirmation from Adam that “it’s time,” I took it out and with no hesitation
put the ring in my jewelry box, closing the lid and walking away. And it
actually felt wonderful, and all so very grown up.
We change and become
new people multiple times in our lives, that’s what makes us all so
interesting. We are constant and should continue to take on the moments of
evolving with a smile and appreciation.
Here's to growing up, just a little.
