Tween the Teens
I was thinkin about the teen years. They can be so incredible. Incredible times of emotional growth. Incredible times of mental growth. Incredible times of physical growth. Incredible times of uncertainty and loneliness.
I am tween the teens. I have teens at home and teens they like and teens they love. And I listen and read their comments and it reminds me. Oh, for the energy you all have. Oh for the passions. But, I do not wish I had the despair, the new knowledge of life's unfairness and uncertainty.
My hat is off to you. You are all so much more than you know. You are more beautiful, more full of hope and promise. You are more full of right ideas and good ideas than you realize.
It is my delight to be a part of your lives. It is strange to watch you and to feel that it wasn't that long ago that I was at your stage; ready for independence, teetering on the brink of it; terrified of it and wanting it so desperately. Thank you all for letting me have the privelge of some of your trust at this time.

Tween the teens....ah, life's fun age. But then comes the twenties, then the thirties. Each age so full of different issues and challenges. But yes, I sometimes miss that strange, certain passion about ideas and goals. I definitely miss the energy! I don't miss the skin issues, the drama that seemed so important during those years, the oddness of not ever feeling quite like I fit in.
Yes, I love my teens, all the biological and borrowed teens. I love your fun sense of life. I love your hope for the future. I love you, each and everyone.
