i don't know about this

i LOVE my life. just about everything about it. we have endured changes throughout with us, jobs, etc. and it's just getting to the really good part, I think. i think about this fact in light of the situations that many of my friends are in right now. it pains me to know that they are not at this same point, or feel that that time, has passed them by. it all seems to be things that are out of their control, which makes it even harder....but i believe that many of the things have to do with choices as well. an old friend was telling me about the trials and tribulations of raising a teen with some other issues thrown in there and was lamenting that she was an overprotective mom. i was all about the "so what?" So what if you are overprotective and people think that...that is who you are and how you choose to be, so be o.k. with it. it gives you a freedom that can start to diminish the second that you are second guessing yourself.

we are going through a time in life when t is traveling more than he is home. in a million years, i never thought i'd be o.k. with this situation....but as time has progressed....i am. i am finding things that i do on my own and taking the time to do the things that i let go in daily life. it's been a great thing.
