I am starting this blog for several reasons, and putting things down on paper (or at least in some sort of writing) always helps put things in perspective. It puts some emotional distance into the equation and forces a different view point.
One of the main reasons for starting this blog is, there have recently been several significant changes in my life and I have a need to sort through them. These changes have not been bad, necessarily. My oldest son graduated from college and is now living in St. Louis working on an internship. My daughter is going to college in town, but recently moved out on her own. My husband, my youngest son (who is a senior in high school), and myself moved to the country this summer and are getting ready to build a house.
You could say that these changes are all "dreams come true". Moving to the country and rearing successful kids have been long term goals my mine. Once these goals have been attained, then what?
That is exactly what I hope for this blog to be - a record of the "now what" of my life ...
