This was a great time for me! Like Fi said "footloose and fancy free" even being married and having children. I think for me what made it so enjoyable was having energy and having options open.
I use to enjoy going to "penny bingos" with my husband's grandmother. One of her friends welcomed me by calling me, "Madame ...!" Like yourself I didn't like the M... word, I never pictured myself as a madame, mademoiselle yes, but madame never! MaMere explained to me that his was equivalent to Mrs. Gosh, I was still in my teens! (Plus, I had insisted that the words "I will obey," be taken out of my vows.)
I had always looked forward to getting older. Wisdom and wealth! Well now I'm half way their and wealth is still way off and the more I learn I realize the more I don't understand.
Thank you, Chris, for taking me down memory lane.
