Lately I have been restless. I have been fidgety, distracted, sometimes irritable. I feel the need to make some changes, to do something different. We had a family reunion recently, and I met cousins who have doctorate degrees, cousins who do interesting things. I want to be more interesting!
I find I'm at a point in my life where I am thinking of changing direction, adding a new element to my life. I don't know what or where, but I want to explore my possibilities.
My kids don't need me as much as they used to, other than to drive them around and to remind to do their chores and homework. Oh, and to do laundry, lots of it.
My job is pleasant enough, but I just find that lately I want more. More what, I'm not sure yet.
I need more exercise, a different routine from what I've been doing.
I have also been thinking of taking courses in something. I have been looking at taking math and english courses, or a photography or philosophy course, or possibly learn another language. Obviously, I haven't got a clue what I really want to do yet.
My plan to start with small things, and explore my options. This week I am going to the gym to get a new exercise program from a personal trainer. I am also getting a new haircut. Small changes, but it's a start.
Then I will start looking at the continuing education calendars at the local college.
I am also going to make a commitment to do a blog post every week.
Wish me luck!
