I will get to see my daughter graduate, become an independent adult herself hopefully. I will get to experience menopause. Maybe see my grandkids. Also I hope to reach maturity of GSIS and PAG-IBIG funds in 2024. I will get to retire from my current job and explore new sources of income which is both scary and exciting. I will get to buy and use Ikea furniture. And also use up my clothes. I have curated them and getting dressed is easier now than before. I will be better at various skills which I am slowly learning now and will be learning in the future. I love life and grateful for each day.

@yoalldudes We all hope that. Many of our posts here are like our personal diary entries and it would be good to come back to them.

@arunima25 I sometimes come here and read my old posts. It will be even more fun when a huge chunk of years has past LOL.

My 40s were my best years, still young and full of energy and enjoying life. Also my 50s were good, I enjoyed a lot.

@yoalldudes I liked more my 40s than my 30s, we had a frantic life, but surely not boring.

Well, you are quite far from your menopause. I think you have achieved something in life. Your most precious creation your daughter would be your masterpiece amongst other things. I think to take it easy and just move along with time and get what you can right now and if it is not achievable right now move on to the next.

Every day is a blessing. Enjoy life while you are young. When you get to be my age, you may not be so mobile.
