Old before my time...

I sit here on a Saturday night, with my macbook in front of me, and I think that I may be old before my time.
As I ponder over various social media posts of people out drinking, pictures of drunken antics, and several meme's indicating that some are worse for wear, I think about how different my life is now compared to ten years ago.

At age twenty.....
Saturday nights were all about partying
Saturday nights were made for dressing up
Saturday nights were about putting on my stiletto's and dancing the night away
Sunday morning's were all about the fried 'hangover' breakfast
Sunday afternoon's were all about lounging on the sofa, eating various junk foods
Sunday nights were all about getting a take-away and feeling 'rough'

At age thirty.....
Saturday nights are all about chilling
Saturday nights are made for wearing comfy pjs
Saturday nights are made for wearing slippers and sipping on a mug of green tea
Sunday morning's are about feeling fresh
Sunday afternoon is about quality family time
Sunday nights are all about a home cooked roast dinner and a family film whilst taking satisfaction in the house being clean and tidy!

Of course I do have the occasional night out clubbing, but more often than not, my Saturday night will consist of doing something with the kids, writing, reading, or having a Prison Break marathon with my PR Guru!
And I can honestly say that I wouldn't have it any other way.
So, as much as I may miss the 'good old days,' I wouldn't change my Saturday nights now for anything.
Some may view me as being old before my time, but just know this, whatever I end up doing, I make sure that I have a bloody good time whether that is just simply reading or whether that is getting my glad rags on and hitting the dance floor. And on this particular Saturday evening, I have had the pleasure of sitting by myself for a couple of hours whilst starting a new writing project.
Time is precious so make sure you spend it doing things that you hold most dear to you. Writing is one of my greatest pleasures, and creating new fictional characters is exciting.
For anyone else joining me in writing on this Saturday night, ENJOY! (I know I am!)

Much love,
Lindsey.
