looks like we are roughly the same age – and I declared earlier this year that this would be my breakout year too, hence the new hobbies – I’m going out a limb to try some new things to try and cure my doldrums….I’ll be enjoying following your ‘ride’ as well!!

Thanks everyone :) I’m in a good place with myself right now, despite the issue with my eyes. I’m still hoping that in time that too will end well, but so far it’s only been a nightmare.

In all seriousness though; with the people I have at my side, physically and through my blog, how can I do anything but succeed? I am extremely fortunate to have the extraordinary people in my life that I do, and I’m well aware of it.

I also didn’t mean to make my marriage sound negative, because it’s not! Every relationship has its ups and downs, and we’re always changing and evolving. Sometimes without realizing it, you come to a place in the road that has a few more curves than you remember. That’s all it is, and the only thing I need to do is spend the time on it – on him – that is deserved. Reconnect. Take a new direction.

Priorities, right?

My dearest Jenn,

I have read your post three times and honestly I am so happy for you.I am very humbled that you have taken us along for the ride and I , for one, am very appreciative of your honesty and commitment to yourself and your quest for betterment.

I went through my phases a couple of times in my life.Once when I came to USA as an exchange student. Then as the ONE who is the bread winner when my late Dad was sick then died. Thinking married with two kids just needed fine tuning but after 12 years,there are just too many BASIC STUFFS that are just not working and I have become someone even I do not recognize. I totally hibernate, I needed to, to stay sane.

I am so sorry about your lasik but then I do not know you well enough to warn you. I have yet to meet someone who had a totally successful one , yet.

I am glad you have found your new band which is fulfilling to you.THAT however does not mean that your marriage needs ANYTHING EXTRA. Two very separate matters.

I used to be like that. Linking everything up but no longer. Now, I tackled each issue the respect, time and honesty they needed. It helped a lot when I decided to stop working and be a stay at home mom.

You are such a blessed person. Do not make too much changes with high expectations.It will only make you feel upset , dissatisfied and in a rut again. EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON, JUST BE FAIR TO YOURSELF.

You look great! I used to color my hair… like 4 times a year.. like the seasons. LOL

You will be in my prayers.

hugs
shakira
