on my way

I think I have finally figured out what I want to do. I have avoided teaching my whole life. Never considered that I may actually enjoy working with children. This year has brought new opportunities that I am glad to have seized. I have discovered that I can combine my love of animals with education. The problem is finding a job that I can actually live off of. I guess that will come in time. Right now I am trying to take opportunities as they come, make connections, and enjoy my work. Guess that is what it is all about.

How to live

If I knew that I only had a short time left on this earth what would I do? What would be most important to me? How would I spend my days?
I struggle with letting the little things go. I need not get so angry with trivial matters. Life is about love, relationships, friendships, laughter.
I have a lot to learn. But that is part of life. Always learning.
Wake up everyday and list 5 things that you are grateful for. I have to remind myself how lucky I really am. A wonderful husband, a darling little dog, a loving family, amazing friends, a warm home...all these are mine.
The bills will get paid, the traffic will subside, the mess will get cleaned up...My husband always says that it will be ok and he is right. No matter what it will be ok, whether I like it or not.
Listen to the birds, watch the sun rise, sing out loud! Don't be afraid of what is to come. Accept life, good or bad. Find the good in everything. That is how I want to live my life. I am a work in progress and that is ok. Everything takes time. I am going to enjoy the journey.
