I never realised.....

 I never realised how much energy I had when I was younger.. I'd clean my house all morning doing several loads of washing and peg it out on the line; then a quick snack lunch and I'd get the garden weeded, and grass cut in the afternoon. These days I'm out of 'go juice' after one job!

I never realised how I could walk the mile to town effortlessly to go to the library., today we drive!

I never realised how I could get up each morning at 5:45am for work and keep going all day!

I never realised how I could eat a cake or two with a cup of tea in an afternoon and my weight stayed the same. Didn't even have a scales.

I never realised how easily I carried bags of shopping from the local shops, which were a good half a mile away.

I never realised how when I went to bed I'd sleep all night and never thought I wouldn't.

I never realised how I much ironing of clothes I did three times in a week, a husband and four children generated mountains of ironing.

But my biggest regret is I never realised how slim and attractive I looked. I had thick glossy brown hair, I still have thick hair but greying now, but it still curls easily and my hairdresser loves that it does!

I still have strong long nails which I have manicured and polished, one of my weaknesses..

In fact I should be saying instead of 'never realised'... I never 'appreciated my worth', a childhood without a mother, that lacked love and a really rotten choice of a first husband and I felt worthless and always second best.. 

But no more!! Meeting Dh was amazing because he is amazing and appreciates all I do.

Isn't it strange how when you look back at life you wish you'd had a Degree in ' Hindsight!'

So make the best of everyday..don't let your yesterdays spoil your todays!
