So far, this blog has been mixed up jumble of thoughts and feelings. It has had no real purpose other than to entertain me on boring days when I feel inspired to muse about life. It has been a reflection of me (for good or for bad) and I've lost track of where I planned to go when I started out.
Since my last post, life has changed dramatically. My DS is almost 1 yr (freaking out) and we're planning where to go from here. Until now, I've been content to bounce about my little world without much focus or ambition. I once had ambitions. I once had focus. It's amazing how you turn one corner and you have no idea how you used to feel or what used to get you excited in the morning.
This spring (and the seeming dissolution of several important friendships) has re-energized a need to listen to myself and feel that happiness I considered to be a core element of my soul.
For example, what do I want for a career? Where do I want to live? What is the thing or things that will make ME happy? And, perhaps most importantly, how do I go about getting those things while keeping my family and friends in mind? I have a husband, a son, three dogs and a cat. I can't wake up tomorrow, pack up and move to Istanbul. I can, however, wake up tomorrow and begin to plant a garden or search for a career or paint a wall.
I'm now a seeker and a doer rather than a spectator in my own life. That, in essence, is my goal for this blog. I wish to share with you my ongoing journey. My only request is that, as I open my life to ye ol' interwebs and consumers thereof, you choose not to be mere spectators. I genuinely want to hear from you.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm compelled to climb the very big tree in my backyard. ;)
