The older we get, the more certain we get about who we are and what our purpose is. For me, a lot of it is still unknown, but as I make my way down my own path, I have begun to realize that there are indeed some inevitable truths that I know for sure. On your own blog, write a post that talks about "the one thing you know for sure."
I read this, my first thought was "I don't know." I went about my daily business, baked cookies, tried to clean / organize, (we moved in a month ago but I'm still working on it) take care of the kidlets, laundry and everything else. All the while, this question was running through my mind. "what do I know for sure?" I'm a mother. Yes, but what else? I'm a woman. (aunt flow returned to assure me of this fact) I have a brain, think! After a couple hours, I stumbled across a box of books. Under them I found my journals. I started skimming through, Oliver wanted to help I told him "No, these are Mommy's you can read them when I'm dead." (blunt, much?) Then it occurred to me. I am ALIVE.
My brain is working, my heart is pumping, my lungs are expanding. I am lucky enough to spend each and everyday seeing, hearing and feeling my children grow, learn and love. We are surviving. I am striving to make changes to better our life down the line. As of right now though, I am happy. Happy to be alive. (cheesy but true)
15 years of my life documented through journals.
1996 - Present
I wish I had kept some of my {many} old journals - good for you for keeping them! Great post....
ReplyDeleteThanks! :) One of my favorite things to do is to remember where I've been and the events that happened. It's amazing how many details we forget.
