Are any of us?

What am I really doing here?
I need to figure something out for myself: what am I really doing here? What am I good at? I'm a wife. A darn good one. I work hard, treat the hubs like a King, I can cook, bake, sew on a button when necessary, clean when I have to, do laundry, the usual stuff. I'm a mom. I raised four kids with the hubs. We tried real hard to help them turn out to be productive human beings and they're finding their respective ways in the world. One or two of them are finding it more difficult, but they're doing ok. We tried to remind them that God is in charge and is always there for us, and I hope they all turn to Him for guidance. I'm a grandmother - I'm Nana, if you will. And I love those two baby boys fiercely. Anybody ever messes with them, I'll kick some butt. Don't even try. I'm a nurse. I'm a damn good nurse. I love what I do and why I do it and I love to continually educate myself and my coworkers about the latest and greatest in orthopedic surgery. I have hobbies I love. I cook and bake. Some pretty tasty stuff. I love to read. I mean, I LOVE to read. I devour books. And I retain what I read. But even though I recognize all these things about myself, I'm trying, just like zillions of other people, other women, to discover what I'm really doing here. Am I making a difference? Am I touching lives? Am. I. Making. A. Difference?

Journalist: "Who is Don Draper?"
ReplyDeleteDon Draper: "What do people usually say to that?"
What I wish for you is to see you motivated to do more of the things you love again. This world is moving too fast and it makes people too tired to do anything but go to work, come home to sleep, and do it all over again the next day. That's why I have this plan to change my life, and soon. Love you.
