Day 35

I am grateful to NOT be a teenager anymore!  The emotions, the up and downs, the uncertainty or what life was going to bring me.  OK, not so much different than now, but I think I have learned to deal with life much better!  I am glad I have experience and Corry by my side now.  I am most grateful to have the Lord by my side to deal with my children facing those same challenges.  Although I am still not sure I always do what I am supposed to with them.  It is harder now to be a parent of a teen than it was to be the parent of small children.  The path was more clear for me.  Although different hard.  I have time to myself that I never had then and I think that helps soooo much with being mentally and emotionally prepared to help them.  I also have more time for the temple now which helps immensely too.  SO yes, I am so grateful to not be a teenager anymore.
