Haven’t posted in a while.
Feeling especially grateful and at peace tonight. My son, an amazing soul, was accepted to his first choice school this week and spending the weekend with his girl. My daughter is finishing the last semester of her undergraduate degree and doing well. Grad school in September.
I’ve spent the last 22 years focused on caring for them both. Focused on their breathing at night, involved in their extra curricular activities, making sure they eat well and get enough sleep. Being human, I imploded during their late teens and uprooted their foundation and yet they thrived and excelled. So very grateful.
So grateful in fact that not stressing the financial strain. That says a lot. Got both my son’s car and mine serviced. Both over 100,000 miles so neither cheep. Made final payment on our celebratory cruise and booked excursions. 4 days of gratitude. Celebrating my 49th year on board and treated myself to a massage.
Taxes and FASFA done. Group X classes going well. Trying yo find my balance: self care, parenting my kids, teaching, instructing.
Sometimes, I’m all I need.
