 
NOTES:
When I was young I couldn’t wait to grow
up. Every quarter-inch measured on the door jamb, every increase
in shoe size felt like wonderful accomplishments. I longed for
the day when I could finally BE a Grown-Up.
But as I achieved adulthood, gaining hair in some places, losing
it in others, I just never FELT like a grown-up. That sense of
Grown-Upness I’d yearned for never came.
The big surprise? I LIKE feeling like a kid all the time! I still
get the biggest thrill from learning new things. I like Growing!
I may no longer be growing any taller, but my heart and mind continue
to grow and surprise me. |
