Uh oh, folks. My mom is worried about me now.
My dad saw the blog the other day and thought it was funny. My brother is interested in what makes me tick. My mom, on the other hand, is worried about putting pictures on the internet and who reads this. Mom, did you read the first post? I only have five friends so the blog is not that public.
She also wants to know what my husband, Avalon, thinks about all this blogging. I have only written three posts including this one. Since I may never have my own mother as a follower, I should respond to the rumor. I am having a mid-life crisis. Although I do not feel comfortable using the word “crisis”, I do not know what you call this; sharing thoughts with the world. “Crisis” implies a medical situation or people whispering “perhaps we should find Nicole a counselor or someone to talk to” whenever they see me. Rest assured, I have never been saner than I am today. Tell me that you have not considered what you have made of your life ever and I will pull the blog down - tomorrow. Truth is that I have to write so I figure I should get to it before I get old and forget - just kidding.
There is no crisis, no need to be alarmed, this is just sharing time. Yes, I am sharing the most, but maybe the five friends will share their own nugget of wisdom for the all the world to see. So the question on the table is, have you ever had a life consideration moment? (Is that better, Mom?)
Wow...you got me thinking. It's funny I randomly think how happy that I'm in my 30's versus in my 50's cause then I'd feel like I'd have less years to live. 35 is fastly approaching and I'm not struggling with it,,,or maybe I am cause I'm planning on getting my first tattoo next month to celebrate a new year. Not to mention they say we live in 7 years life cycles-so we are about to start a new cycle. So it makes a lot of sense that you are in a reflective mood.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes I have had the "life consideration moment" last year while I was in the hospital. Being on lock down for a month gave me time to reflect, wonder, pray and make new commitments. I can't imagine how you handle everything and maintain your sanity. For me I know my kid is the best decision I've made, accomplishment and blessing. We've made many decisions that have led us to this point regardless of how intentional or unintentional they have been. You can be who or whatever you want to be when you grow up, Nik!!

I am having one now....it's not easy being in my position and continue making the wrong turns. Time is passing by at an alarming rate, and yet we act as if we have all the time in the world.
ReplyDeleteI am the happy person who is both appreciated and rewarded for all her hard work, but also inventory the future and know in my heart I should be father along....in every area! NKI
