I pulled out the food processor. I had shredded carrots all over the kitchen, my hands were orange, my sink was orange.....
Not seeing leaves changing colors, the snow, everything coming back to life in the spring......I think the changing seasons are like Mother Nature's canvas! Corny, I know- but beautiful! 
I cannot imagine NOT having seasons!
How can you live without that? DH says he wants to move someplace where it is always warm....I just can't do it. This is why I want to stay a bit north and on the East Coast.
I too never wanted any kids, siince I was a kid I knew I didn't! I'm almost 39 and just today someone said "Oh you'll change your mind". When? When I'm 60? People have been saying that my whole life and I still haven't changed it. Yes it gets me furious for someone to tell me that. Who are you and how do you know me so well as to know what I want? Why are you butting into someone else's personal business? Mind your own!!!!!!!!
It's like complete strangers telling me smoking is bad. No joke it's not 1930 anymore and DR.'s aren't telling people to smoke like they use to. I think 99.9% of Americans know it's bad, so why are you butting into my business. Thanks for letting me rant.
Just my opinion.....
We don't want kids...never have, never will...and no folks. we won't change our minds....
But what really gets me, are the folks that have the audacity to say if you don't experience parenthood you will never understand what real love is...where the heck does this logic come from???
It's just rude and completely close minded mixed with a little BS.
But whatever, I think they just want us to have kids, because none of our other close friends are even close to dating anyone or kids, so they want us to have some so that our kids could grow up together 
...not gonna happen at all...
yes...even one of my friends who doesn't have kids yet has been bugging me lately about it...You see, she's engaged and getting married in March and she and her DF want 3 kids...I'm actually quite surprised they don't have one already and she keeps expecting me to change my mind...Her fiance thinks there's something wrong with my DH and I for not wanting kids and just can't understand it.

My DH & I are right there with you, have been for the 27 years we've been together (dated/lived together 6 & married for 21 years). Thankfully it's almost the norm in our family, I have two sibs, a brother who had 1 child and my sister & her DH chose not to have kids. And in DH's family he's got four sibs, 2 sisters who are married both chose not to have kids, and his 1 brother had 1 kid and his other brother adopted the children that his now wife had from a previous relationship. People think that is pretty odd, but I think we just know what we want out of our lives and it's not kids!
We truly enjoy our time we have together, we don't get bored, we're not worried about who will take care of us when we get older. We have close families so they will be there for us as we will for them. And you can't beat being able to pick up and go and travel whenever we want. It's total "bliss"!
Tammy, I'll keep my fingers crossed for your MRI results...hopefully it will be something easier to treat...
btw...hope you feel better!! Seems like lots of viruses are going around everywhere
Yep...I have 2 sisters and a brother...we range in age from 34 to 43...none of us have ever considered having children...not that we don't care for children...they're just not for us...we love our lives just as they are...
...and you're right it is TOTAL BLISS!
