Welcome to Catching Days, Julie. Thanks for leaving a comment.
Indeed. Society had (or still has?) us convinced it’s the next step. But I know more and more adults who are either unmarried with kids, married no kids, or proudly single. These range of lives is much more accepted this century and decade it seems!
Agree. But I just can’t get over that I gave it no thought. Or maybe I did and I just can’t remember…
Oh, yes, Cynthia, this sure does resonate! I’ve had a blog post simmering for a while now about this very topic. Thanks for reminding me…
Oh Dana, please write about this. I give things so much thought these days–it’s hard to believe how little went into the those early decisions.
