I agree, it gets easier as you age. So many of our friends & family members are still working & raising children, so it's sometimes still a bit lonely, but we're slowly starting to get more company! ;) loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725106142359702200.post-32373735948569649652019-05-17T00:03:02.904+12:002019-05-17T00:03:02.904+12:00Have a fabulous time.

At times I get so happy that we're going and then i feels sad/guilty because the only reason we are able to go on a whim is because we don't have children. I am at the first two stages but i know we will have a blast!

It is interesting to think on stages of life, too, and how things even out a bit as people (sometimes) lose their kid-centric focus and children move out and become adults. Although social media makes it possible for some adults to always hang on to that child centric living even as their kids are out of college and living their lives, which makes it seem like the children were at the core of their identity and they didn't form their own interests. I guess that's a freedom too of being childfree, is that your identity isn't so tightly wound to someone else's, and when they move on into their own lives, you're left wondering what you enjoy doing.
