<\/a><\/p>\nBut lately, there is something that drives me\u00a0nuts\u00a0when the sun goes down.\u00a0 I’m learning that I’m not as young as I once was.\u00a0 I can’t stay up with the hubs like I used to.\u00a0 Last evening I turned into a pumpkin before 9 pm!\u00a0 And I hate that!\u00a0 I do!\u00a0 I also\u00a0hate the word hate but I really do hate not being able to stay up with him.<\/p>\n
I think I managed to hang out with the hubs until midnight once last week.\u00a0 And it was a big deal.\u00a0 And I was able to sleep in with him last Saturday morning.\u00a0 And that was a big deal.<\/p>\n
A couple of weeks ago, I\u00a0had a brilliant idea.\u00a0 Yes, I would take an afternoon nap and sail thru the night with the hubs.\u00a0 I had it all planned out.\u00a0 We would stay up late, sip coffee and watch movies.\u00a0 While the idea was great and the afternoon nap was wonderful,\u00a0the plan failed.\u00a0 And I hate that too.<\/p>\n
One of these days I’ll be able to go the distance with him.\u00a0 I just wish it could be every day.<\/p>\n
But let me tell you, this morning was a big hit.\u00a0 It’s so easy to jump out of bed with a full tank of rest and energy.\u00a0 I was ready bright and early to hit the trail with the neighbor girls.\u00a0 Today was the first day for me to join the group (there were 7 of us today)\u00a0for\u00a0a weekly hike to Starbucks.\u00a0 I’m already looking forward to next week.<\/p>\n
Can you believe I didn’t so much as take a picture this morning?\u00a0 The moments passed.\u00a0 The conversations were great and…well?\u00a0 It could not possibly get any better than that for a Thursday morning.<\/p>\n
I’m already looking forward to seeing this great group of gals next week and the week after that and…It just does a heart good.<\/p>\n

It commands attention.\u00a0 It’s hard not to sit and watch the sky as it changes color.\u00a0 So last evening, I found myself taking in the last bit of sunshine.
