I'm looking for a little writing therapy and so of course, to my blog I return...
Life is strange right now. So many things are effecting my psyche; some large, some small but all of them telling me that I am in a huge period of change in my life. Change that isn't gong to stop any time soon. In fact, I think that the next 3-4 years are going to be challenging, fabulous, sad, scary and when all is said and done, will shape who I become.
Without going through a specific laundry list of all of the things on my mind (I need to save something to blog about next), let's just say that I've got things on my mind like serious family illnesses, 2 teen aged boys on a daily bases, a career that is more demanding than I've ever experienced, feeling disconnected from most family members and best friends due to geography and time challenges and all of the joy that the years before menopause bring.
I know...so what makes me different than any of the rest of you?
Nothing!
So I'm hoping that you share your stories and your wisdom me and I look forward to learning about how all of you are fairing in this journey we call life.
I'm also sensing that a blog re-branding is in order...change of name and look and focus.
'Cause I don't have enough to do :0)
Ah... I do understand. Especially about the job part. Hang in there and know most of us empathize.
When I get overwhelmed with things, I take it one day at a time and concentrate on small things - folding clothes, putting dishes away. That sounds dumb, but sometimes it helps my anxiety.

It seems like there's always something at every stage of our life to keep us stressed out!(kids, friends, family, job...)Hang in there; we're all flailing around in the same "boat."
