A year in the rearview- A lifetime ahead...
So, it has been a year since I blogged and I have so much going on. I don't want to stray away from this blog as it is really therapeutic for me and I feel like I am sort of coming into my own as a woman, wife, mother, etc. I have been doing a lot of soul searching, goal identification, and just in general attempting to find myself- as stereotypical as that may sound. I want to start off my blog again with a re-introduction to me and my life followed by a rapid "catch up" of where we are as a family and then continue to use my blogging as my attempt to express myself and work through things as I become the individual,, parent, and professional that I have always wanted to be!
So, who am I now? I am a 29 year old woman. I am a lover of life. I am a caregiver to many. I have a Master's Degree and I work as a Nurse Practitioner which I believe fulfills my purpose with the talents that God has given me. I am a Mommy! That is the best job I have. My children are two of the biggest blessings that I have. I am a crafter, a writer, a dancer, and a runner. I just finished my first 5k two weeks ago! I never thought I would be able to do it but I did- check that off the bucket list. So anyway- for the past year I have been on a major journey. I have been trying to nail down my beliefs and expectations in all areas of my life. I have been identifying new goals and getting started on accomplishing them all while trying to be the best mother I can be. Only a couple of months ago I even enlisted a talented therapist to help me tie up all the loose ends. I really think that approaching 30 years of age has brought up a lot of issues for me. Spiritual issues being a major part of things. Also, an overwhelming general disappointment in others, that until now I have been too busy or preoccupied to deal with. But,I have started learning how I am going to address most of these issues and I must say it is really SCARY. I know who I am. I know that I do hold others to a high standard, but I hold myself to that same standard and unfortunately people around me do not have the same standards.
In closing for today- things are really changing around our house. There has been so much preparation for the changes that are only beginning to take place. But, I can say without a doubt, I will not let life just happen to me anymore! I will make it happen:) I will RAISE these children. I will BECOME the person that I desire to be. I am beyond sick of phrases like, "people are just people", and "well that's just life" What an excuse to do nothing.
God Bless!
