Yes I am looking for a house but that's not exactly what I am talking about here. I am trying to find my place in this big old world and I'll tell you what.... I don't have a clue what my place is anymore. The only 100% sure thing I know is that I am a mom, wife, daughter, friend, granddaughter, niece, and cousin. LOL! But does that tell me my place? Well actually it kind of does. My place is with my family and friends. If you know me at all you know how much I love my crafts and other various projects, I love to cook and bake, I LOVE wine, I love to get dressed up and feel good about myself, I love to donate my time to charities and walks, and I love to party/event plan. So could I be a craft show cook/baker who drinks wine while getting dressed up to donate my time to charities and plan their events? Umm that would be a big fat NO! But I could stop fussing and worrying all of the time about not finding my lot in life and just be me and I can have the best of all of those worlds. I feel like sometimes we get too caught up in I have to do this and I have to do that and we don't always do the things that make us happy. My New Years resolution for 2012 is to just be me and to stop trying to figure it all out. Yes, I am a planner but you can't plan life so do the best you can to plan the day but leave plenty of room for changes and the unexpected.
With keeping with my resolution I am going to use my new blog as my way to keep myself on track and slide back to reality a little when I start to drift from time to time. Hoping to meet some wonderful people out here to add to my amazing collection of friends and surround myself with a lot of positive energy. I already have several guest posts planned for this blog from the amazing women I have in my life and how and where they have found their place in life and how happy they are.
I'm really looking forward to reading this every night. I think that's an awesome New Year's Resolution. You inspire me and hopefully everyone else that's reading this too. Please keep in touch. I can't wait to see where this exciting new year takes you and let me know if there is anything I can do to help at all. :)

ReplyDeleteTheresa, I'm looking to find my place in the world as well. Sometimes I feel so lost. I know you read all my posts about being busy, exhausted, and overwhelmed. The truth is I have a wonderful loving husband who would do anything for me, and I am so lucky and blessed that he is able to be home with me everynight especially with being married to the ARMY. I have two perfect dogs that I can't imagine my life without. They fill my life with pure sunshine. I have an amazing job that I'm still not sure how I landed, and eventhough sometimes I gripe about not being home and dealing with all the stress I still love it. but.... I still feel like something is missing. I want to know what the joy of parenting feels like. I want to have a little person depend on me for anything, for everything. Could you please write about your joys as a mother? Or please give any tips on starting a family? Being so far from home, I fear that it will be difficult without the support of our loving family......
