Tuesday October 4th
Today is my birthday. On my birthday I always reflect on some years past. I find it funny that some of my reflection brings me back to a full circle. Years ago I was in college and a traditional student. Now a mother of two, married and back to school. It has been quite a journey. If you would have told me then, that this is where I am supposed to be I would have said "no way". I was all about business, wanted a high powered carreer, didn;t want children and wasn;t sure about marriage. A lot has changed since then. After graduation I moved to chicago, went through a few jobs but settled on retail, which led me to Milwaukee, Chicago and eventually Sheboygan. I never had what I would precieve as a "high powered" job, but had a good job, made a pretty good salary and met my husband and had kids. Funny how you can have the "best" layed plans and it turns out different than what you thought. Ia am blessed to have two healthy children and a husband who loves me and a career that I am meant to have. I am an ordinary person who is lucky enough to have love surrounding her! Reflection is great, but I love the journey as well. If there is anything I learned is don;t plan things, life is like a box of chocolates, you just never know what your going to get...I think I heard that somewhere!

haha Yeah, interesting how you can make so many plans and be determined to fulfill them....and then, bam! Everything changes and you don't have the life you thought you would. But that's not always a bad thing. Just be open to where you're being led to. That's my philosophy anyways.
ReplyDeleteI always make plans, and they never fall through the way they should. I don't count on my plans like you said though, either. I am just happy with what I have now. If you don't worry about what you don't have, you will be happier with what you do have.
ReplyDeleteI love this blog because it sounds so similar to my life. Although, we have some differences in our lives I can relate to having children and a family and always changing my mind and not knowing where life is going to take me.
