The reasons, the reasons that we're here..

It is the first of the year and on the last day of the year, I decided to start a blog. I have been thinking about starting one since the summer time. I am a teacher and you have a lot of free time in the summer to think about what you should be doing with your life. Sometimes I find myself relatively amusing; not comedian type, but someone who will make you smile occasionally. So I thought, writing a blog might be fun. Then the question became what are you going to write about and who is going to read it? I do not have a clue and for some reason it really does not matter who is reading it, but that I am putting my words out there. Of course, I will contact the five friends I have, hello friends, and make them subscribe and post a comment every now and then so I do not look like a loser. So back to the question, what does a woman in her mid-30s with four kids and a job have to write about for the world to read? The answer to that is everything and nothing at all. In your twenties, you think being old is really going to suck because you will have all these responsibilities and you cannot relax and be ignorant like you can when you are starting out. I screwed that up by starting my twenties with a heap of responsibilities. Now that I am by my own definition officially old, sorry dad, I feel this budding wisdom. You see things in your thirties and wonder about beyond and that clarity is not achievable at any other time. So let's just call this a blog to work out my issues and share my little nuggets of wisdom. Maybe you will laugh or smile when you read it - maybe we will find out that I am not as smart as I think I am and I end up learning from my readers. (Make sure I do not get too full of myself.) Join me for a journey into the unknown, into my limbo years, and into my wonder years - the thirty life.
