Now, don't get me wrong - I'm not always happy. Is anybody? But I'm striving to be as happy as I can. I'm working towards nurturing the things in my life that are working and changing those that are not.
I have a milestone birthday (40!) coming up this year. And like many milestones, it has caused me to reflect on where I've been in my life and what I want to accomplish going forward. Because while 40 is still young, it's not that young, if you know what I mean. Older people think I'm young while my children think I'm ancient.
Because this blog is brand new, I'm not entirely sure where it is headed. I don't have a specific niche in mind so I hope I don't disappoint you by not focusing on one thing in particular. Instead I've decided I will just write about what interests me. Luckily, as a mom in this middle stage of life, I've found that what interests me also interests many other moms I know. Any maybe by writing about whatever random topic appeals to me I will find a focus or direction that I'd like to stay with. Or not. I'm flexible that way.
One of my main goals for this year, the last of my thirties, is to stop worrying about other people and what they think of me or what they have. It's normal in our culture today to compare ourselves to others. And what is the point of that? Either you end up feeling better than someone else or you find yourself lacking. And neither is a particularly helpful outcome. So I will leave you with a quote from that fantastic movie The Breakfast Club (which is turning 30 this year!):
Thanks for stopping by!
