I say "trying" because I don't always. I'm still trying to figure out most things about life. I've been married for 17 years. We have 3 kids, 2 dogs, a mortgage, and way too many bills. I was a homeschool mom for 11 years before I had to go to work full-time. I didn't think turning 40 would bother me and it's not the number that does. It's the wrinkles and my thinning face and that the exercise routine I've had for 20 years is not keeping my body in the same shape that it used to. But I love all of it......at this very moment. There are moments when I don't love it, though. I know all the right things to say and think and do but I don't always do them. I am a real woman living in a real hot place (the heart of dixie) and I want to live an abundant life. How do I do that?
