May 1st and I am sitting here staring at the snow
falling, something is wrong with this picture. I am pondering the fact that
this week I turn 53 and the older I get the more I would rather sit and watch
the waves roll in. I know that the life I
lead now was determined by choices that I made a long time ago and I don’t
regret those choices as they are what gave me my wonderful husband and 3
wonderful sons. I just hope that the
choices I make today will lead me in 15
years to place that I will be able to sit and watch the waves roll in. As each year passes my priorities
change. I am looking for a simpler life
with more adventures and experiences and less demands and stress. Maybe that is why my choice of a change of
life career was a good one at the time.
It gave me some opportunities to see places I wouldn’t have been able to
see and meet people that are able to travel the world, so I know that having that
lifestyle can be obtained. But now I again
have to make some hard choices, do I continue to pursue a dream fulltime and hope
that struggling financially will end, or do I settle so that I can help my
family more. Making choices is never easy especially when there are other
people involved, do you follow your heart or your head, and do you worry about
your dreams or everyone else’s ideals. I
guess it comes down to do I have the faith and confidence to believe in myself
and my choices or not. Is there ever a
time when you have to face reality and accept that where you are is where you
are going to be. I am lucky that I have the ability to make choices right or
wrong. I look at my wonderful husband who choices were all made unselfishly for
his family and not to pursue a dream. Am I being selfish? At my age should I be
a more responsible adult. To all my
young followers out there being a responsible adult isn’t easy. Admitting that
you may have made a wrong choice and correcting it is hard, but what is even
harder is challenging yourself to stand by a good choice even when everything
and everyone around you is telling you it is wrong. You
must look deep inside yourself and decide what you really desire out of the
choices you make. I see my children making choices that are
going to direct their lives and I pray that it leads them to all their hopes and
dreams coming true and I hope they
understand when I try to give them some educated advice on making choices, I am
doing it out of love. LOVE, I wish you
could live off of love, I would be a millionaire and all my choices would be
easy.
Well, I know I can’t be the only one having to make choices
that will affect their lives and maybe my thinking out loud in this blog will
help you put into perspective all the choices you have to make or at least give
you something to think about.
God Bless
Happy and Safe Travels.
