“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.“
Settling into our new routine, I find myself stronger than I ever thought I could be. I feel as if on the top of the world. Wide expanses of stunning horizons seem to be opening in front of me. At least in my mind’s eyes. A strong sense of peace that I have not had for a very long time, is now taking over. Somewhere deep inside, I know everything is going to be all right.
With Darling Daughter in grade 12, Sweet Son in grade 7 and Lovely Husband’s work always so stressful, I could be feeling anxious. Lets now add for good measure, my new full time position at work and it might be a bit dicey…Yet I feel reassured, quite calm in fact, without having any plausible explanation for it.
It might have to do with the fact I am slowly growing into the person I really am inside. My daily choices are a reflection of this, and as a result I spend more time doing things I love. I manage to write, even if not as often as I wish, I also get to spend more time with my children being both reassuring and firm while trying to help them in their daily challenges. My camera has just been repaired and I will be going about trying to capture the beauty all around me.…Life is good…
