I have no doubt that they will be wonderful :-)<BR/><BR/>Isn't it amazing how our feelings can shift so from one minute to the next? I have no idea where this comes from - this angst and questioning - our uncertainty about who we are, what we're about, what we've done or left undone. I, too, have grand fantasies of running away! (There's a great line in Gone With the Wind when Scarlett says to Ashley - in her lovely, breathy, southern voice - "Oh, Ashley, take me away!" I often say this to my husband in a Scarlett tone of voice!)<BR/><BR/>However, as you've said to me before, and I am beginning to understand more each day - the wisdom of being in our 40's is a gift. I count it a great opportunity to have made it this far, foibles and all, and to have the presence of mind to reflect, un-learn, re-learn, choose what I want my life to look like going forward. Indeed, the "me" I used to be is not the "me" I am today. That can take some getting used to! It's almost as if we have to stop, think for awhile, and catch up with ourselves - the self we've become.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your honesty. It is good to have kindred companions for our journey. Feel free to escape to Dayton, Ohio if you need to :-)<BR/><BR/>Big Hug,<BR/>LisaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
