Did You Ever Experience "The Shift"?

I don't really know what else to call it, but for me, "The Shift" happened right after I turned 35. It felt a lot more sudden than I expected. I remember a specific doctor's appointment. The doctor walked in, and I immediately thought, "This guy looks really young. Must be an intern." Nope. He was my doctor, and I later found out he was 33 – two years younger than me. From then on, it was like my perspective kept changing. I started realizing how incredibly young everyone looked on the local news or even on billboards for attorneys and realtors. It's so bizarre and hard to explain. Logically, I know younger people are in these professions, but my brain just struggles with the jarring reality that the "grown-ups" now include people who seem so young to me. Has anyone else gone through something like this? How old were you when it happened? #LifeChanges #Aging #Perspective #FeelingOld #AdultingFail #EverydayLife

To that question, here’s my answer -- money can never beat family.

I saw that post from logan50 asking which is more important, money or family. For me, money and family are both important, but definitely not equally. Family is an amazing gift. It is living with other people who are a part of your heart. It's going through ups and downs, laughing and crying together. Having a loving and caring family is one of the greatest blessings a person can have. Now, money. Money can buy you a house, food, clothes, a car, jewelry, and furniture. It can give you happiness and a sense of security. I will agree with that. But let me show you something. A little way from my home there is a road where people live in poverty. They don't have proper houses and maybe only get one good meal a day. Small children play on the sidewalk. But at lunchtime, when they all sit together and eat from one plate, I see the parents' beaming faces. They are feeding their children, laughing as they try to get them to sit still. They never show any sign of unhappiness or exhaustion. Money is an essential part of life. But it is not everything. Family is. #MoneyVsFamily #FamilyIsEverything #Perspective #LifeLessons #Discussion #Poverty #Love #Blessings #FamilyFirst
