Well hello again....
I have nearly forgotten about having this blog space....its been a few months since I've posted anything. With the Holidays nearing the time of the last known post, along came busy work schedules, some winter weather, and as the age old story goes....just life getting in the way of free time....
I have to say, in some small way I've done some little bits of maturing or growing the hell up in the past few months. That's not to sit here and say that I'm all higher and mightier than any other 26yr old woman out there; but I've slowed down and taken a reality pill. While my life is busy and at times i feel bombarded, distraught, and discombobulated, this is my life, I've made my bed and now I have to lie in it, I have to pick up the pieces of the puzzle and live it. And I'm OK with that. I'm actually satisfied with most of it. Happy about it even.
No one ever tells you what to expect life to give you other than to expect the unexpected. Welcome to my world. I live and breathe the job I have, and I genuinely enjoy the work I do, although I never expected to be making a living working for who I do, doing what I do in that company. I had dreams of making it big in the world of artistry, although lets face it, it hasn't happened and probably never will - again I'm OK with that, if not OK then happy. I never thought I'd be spending a Saturday afternoon sitting on a living room floor typing here while my toddler is napping, and my oldest playing games in the next room, with my husband off at work. Here again, and surprisingly, I'm happy, imagine that! Ha ha ha....
I've taken a good look in the mirror lately and am embracing who I've grown to be. I'm young and am greying early - its hereditary, and I've given up the thought (so far) of chopping off the length of Hair I have currently - even though short hair would be best with two kids in tow...however, I'm discovering a newer, if almost sultry side of myself. I've noticed that I try to make sure I look decent - yes even on the weekends when i would normally want to just sit in sweat pants and a t-shirt. I've gone and minimized what make-up if any I put on, and even have discovered new hair styling techniques to polish off the re-vitalized inner me. I dress the age that I feel, not the age that I am...because skinny jeans are not only just not my style, but i have my own style, and I don't care if it makes me appear slightly older than that of my actual age. It's a mature, sophisticated style, and I can use it at work, and it still looks good for outings with my family.
These things cannot be taught or found in a fashion magazine. They come with the experience of life, and a little bit of common sense. If you just try to be yourself and not what the current fad is, you just might surprise yourself.
I've also decided that its time i make time to do some writing as well as doing some artwork....I sat and thought about it and the last time i picked up a paint brush was literally just over a year ago. I think i need to spend some time doing some of those little hobbies again - and soon.....I've also decided I'm going to go to my lovely neighbor and ask him to teach me (if it's at all possible) to play guitar....
So my goal or belated resolution this year is: to stay true to myself, and strive to become the older, classier version of the person I've always been and will continue to be...Happy, slap-stick silly, humorous, thoughtful, insightful, respectful, intelligent, wistful, artistically ambitious, and driven to top off the small list. I wish more wives and moms would join me in this new adventurous ride to excepting the fact that we are getting older, so lets do it with some class ladies....because after all men just won't get it....they wait til they have a "Mid-Life Crisis" and go get their ears pierced like its some new bold statement...HA!
