It's taken a while, but here I am in the world of "blogging." Hopefully I can keep up with it as there is a lot going on right now with a toddler and a baby in the house. I guess my intentions for starting this is so that I can keep reminding myself of who I am and why I'm that way. Sounds cheesey, but I'm edging into my 32nd year of existence, and to some people that's OLD! What I'm getting at is that I feel that I've come upon a crossroads in my life. As a 31-year old stay-at-home-mom of two, I find myself constantly evaluating and re-evaluating my every decision. I even think about how decisions in the past affect me and my family now. For instance, had I known what life would be like 800+ miles away from friends and family would I have still made that decision? Not so sure of the answer to that. Regardless of the true feelings deep down inside the decision is made and here I am. Now what do I do? So I guess the real title of this entry should be "Why Not." Maybe it will help me remind myself of the things that I really find important in life and why they've become true treasures to me. Sure I could go on and on about politics and the dismal forecast of the economy and it's direct affect on families like mine...but really...don't you still have to find a way to muster through even the toughest of times? Let's remind ourselves that we aren't who we are by accident. What an injustice we do to ourselves by getting swept up in the socialisms we base our existence on and forget about what we once dreamed of or how we felt on a sunny day with our bare toes tickled by the soft clover beneath them. Close your eyes and remember you. In the most lonesome of times it's all you'll have to comfort you.
It's my hope that someone, somewhere will read my entries and be inspired to think a little more simply about the basics of life. Remember your Granny? I bet that question alone has sparked a warm glow in someone's brain. And if you are wondering about the title of my blog..well..that's where it all began. Hopefully one day, that's where it will end.
This is a scattered compilation of the many, many thoughts running around in my head. Most of them will be nostalgic thoughts and stories from my childhood. Others will be bitter gripes about all the wrongs in the world and in daily life. Where better to put this stuff, right?
Steph, very well written.
ReplyDeleteI too have recently started a blog over here. I decided to keep mine only positive, because there is too much negative every where I turn. So I only allow myself to write about things that make me happy. It forces me to think positively every day!
