It was my birthday yesterday. I went somewhere fun. Doing distinctly childFREE things. Enjoying the opportunities I have because I did not have children. Yes, I might have still done these things if I’d had children (especially as any children would now be at university or graduated). But my priorities might have changed. My expenses would be different. My life would have been different. Neither life is better. But I’m glad that there are days when I can embrace what I have, rather than bemoan what I don’t have. That’s what life is all about, isn’t it?
