Then and Now

While on my way to work earlier this week, I started thinking about how much I’ve changed over the years…

Then: The Boy’s driving terrified me.
Now: My driving terrifies The Boy.Then: I was a social butterfly.
Now: I’m a home bunny.

Then:
I loved to chat on the phone.
Now: I regularly ignore my phone unless it’s work-related.

Then:
I needed 2 suitcases and 3 carry-ons for a 5 day trip.
Now: I can manage with 1 carry-on plus my laptop for a 5 day trip.

Then:
I dreamed of the places I’d go.
Now: I try to remember the places I’ve been.

Then:
I couldn’t fall asleep without watching tv.
Now: I can’t watch tv without falling asleep.

Then:
My mind was a steel trap.
Now: My mind is a stainless steel colander.

How has your life changed over the last decade?

    My mind is still a steel trap. It's just a little bit rusted.
