Friday Question from the Book of Questions What do you like best about your life? Least?

post by: bearwife at: 11:06 | 9 comments

Best: My Bear. (closely followed by our dog and my job and where I get to live, in that order.)

Least: Knowing I have to keep aging. I already feel too aged! Seriously, it is a downer knowing you are at best on the back half of your life.

P.S.: No Friday questions from me for a couple of weeks after this as I'll be traveling without the book.

Best: My husband and kids.

Least: An absolute complete lack of "me" time, and the resentment I feel towards my husband for all the time that he has because of his particular work schedule.

Though aging is a bitch, too.

Best: that I live in a nice house in a safe area and am healthy and can, within reason, buy whatever I need. So many many lives are missing at least one of those components.

Least: that nothing is permanent.

Best: My independence, that I'm answerable to no-one and I can do what I want when I want.

Least: The opposite side of that coin, loneliness.

Simlar to Senyar's in a way.

Best: the peace that comes with knowing I can be my own person and can devote the time that I have with them to my kids.

Least: the lack of real adult companionship - I do miss the intimacy (physical and other) of having a significant other.

Best: the kidlet

Least: Living 2 hours from my family. I don't particularly want to live in that area but I wish I could move down there as traveling back and forth is a PITA. House prices have to rise more before that's possible.
