1960s ~ I was born
1970s ~ My childhood
1980s ~ The questioning years. What will I do? Who will I marry? Where will I live? Who am I?
1990s ~ The answering years. I got my degree, got married and gave birth to my children.
2000s ~ The growing years. Watched my kids grow into a pre-teen and a teen. Self-discovery and growth. Marital growth. Spiritual growth.
2010s ~ Perhaps the letting go years? Our nest will empty. I will turn 50. I expect it to be a decade of challenges and some loss. But I'm ready. Bring it on!
I love the summary! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Kay. Every decade has its specialness as you demonstrated.

Interesting evaluation. Most of us just plod along through each decade without giving it a thought. Maybe you're onto something we all need to take note of.
