I never really worried about getting older. I rather relished the idea of the profound wisdom I was told I'd receive as I aged. Turning thirty bothered me not at all. My 20s had worn me out. My 30s became my "growing up years". The years in which I had my children (2 daughters, 16 months apart) and recognized my parents worth and absolute insanity. They raised 4 daughters that were 6 years apart from start to finish...truly utter lunacy.
