The year is 1/3 over and it seems it has only just begun. My youngest son is already 18 months old and becoming quite the little man. He is still breastfeeding, although I would honestly be happy to give that up as soon as he is ready. Walking, talking, blowing kisses and well in to the terrible 2's already.
My middle son is 7 and still a pleaser in life. He wants everyone to be happy all the time and is eager to jump in and be my little helper at any minute. He is such a kind soul with a great heart. :-)
My daughter is 11 going and starting Jr. High in the fall. It's hard to believe. She possesses the narcissus of a child, but the sense of humor and love of life of someone well outside her years. She loves her family and is becoming a beautiful young lady. Her laughter echos in my mind throughout the day and keeps me smiling.
The relationship between my husband and I is amazing. Soul mates feels right. Our life is filled with love, laughter, food and just enough challenge to keep us moving forward and motivated to be our best. We have that zing that makes you thankful for life every day.
My life long desire to change the world hasn't faded. While I am perfectly content with my contribution to the world in the form of happy, healthy and loving kids that I know will make the world a better place, I want to do more. I want to urge the world to recycle. To come back to nature. To embrace what their bodies are telling them, to recycle and to be kind to animals. It's silly. I know. But, the feeling exists and I need to find my way.
Do I want to reach the milestones in my education I hoped to long ago by obtained a med degree and apply to med school? Focus on nutrition and psychology? Anthropology and somehow travel the world bringing cultures together for the greater good? I'm getting too old to not know anymore!
Don't get me wrong, I have a really great and successful career. I enjoy my job, I make enough to provide the things we need and save enough to travel and explore within reason for a family of five. I'm fulfilled in so many ways. I just want to do more.
