Reflections

Its been a tough week. Not a bad week, just a tough week. I am tired. I want to get away from all the demands of my life. Not forever, I really do enjoy my life. Just a break. A chance to truly relax. I would like to know what it is like not to have knots in my back and shoulders. A chance to look around me and enjoy whats there instead of trying to avoid anything that looks like it might like to involve me.

I feel like I am always running behind, always trying to catch up, always not quite where I am supposed to be. I always say I know where I have to be next, but I have no idea where I just came from. I would like the time to reflect on what just happened, where I just was, what I saw, said, or did. I would like to be able to look at the ripples of my life. It might just give me a sense of what my life means.


Blah, blah, blah, this is not where I wanted to go with this post. I sound like a whining complaining mid life crisis middle age women.

But, isn't that what I am right now? Is this reflection on myself not what comes next for me? I expect the next few years may be a little tough on me, but that can only make me stronger. And what's wrong with a little, or even a lot, of reflection on yourself every now and then. A season of winter and then spring in your life.

I think I will spend some time this weekend reading the new Lois Hole spring gardening magazine I just purchased.

When I first read that I thought I saw "the nipple of my life..."

Did you hear that Lois Hole passed away? I'm not sure if it was in the news or not.

That's what your blog is for, it's a chance to reflect and re-read what you wrote and experienced. At least that's what it is to me. I don't think you sound like a middle-aged whiner, I think you sound like someone who's had a very full life with a lot going on around you and I think it's great that you seek to take it all in and not take it for granted.

You don't sound like a whining mid life whatever, you sound like someone who is indeed taking a chance to reflect on what is going on in her life...

You are sharing your thoughts on what your life is like for you right now... That isn't whining. Not to me, anyway.

I don't think I would, or have, ever read your blog, and thought that you were whining. Not once. I always find it very insightful, inspiring, and intelligent.
The three I's.

Keep it up!
