| clarification |
I wanted to clarify the reason I am writing this blog. I am not writing it to devalue having a spouse or children. I am writing it to show the other side of what alot of people desire with unrealistic expectations. When I didn't have children that was all I desired, picturing how wonderful everything would be. What I didn't see was the ammount of self sacrifice, unending work and reaching a point of feeling like it was more than I could do but having no option but to do it. I love my family very much, thus the reason I push myself so much to make sure they have the best life. To those who do find themselves single or without children I just want you to see the value in where you find youself. You might think you would be so much happier if you had a spouse or children but don't put so much value in the "picture" that you miss what you currently have. The life I live does have blessings but unfortunately they are hard to see when I am standing in the middle of a tornado. Someone on the outside looking in may see all the wonderful things they want but when you are actually in the middle of it, you are so busy and overwhelmed it makes it next to impossible to take it in and enjoy. The irony of life, I guess.
So if you find yourself alone, take the time which I don't have and enjoy the quiet. Reach out to people in need. I see so many areas I would love to help in but because I am barely staying afloat with my responsibilities I can't. Use the invaluable gift of time and availability that I don't have and make a difference. Don't waste time pining for this life you think will be wonderful when you have the opportunity to make your current situation truly great.
I hope that clarified why I am writing my blog. I am just in a emotionally and physically drained state and because my situation won't be changing for the better for many years I am trying to make something positive out if it in a different way. I want people to have a true picture of my life, both positive and negative, so that they can then make the best of what they have.
Again, I look forward to connecting with people and hopefully making a difference in someone's life. Please check back, as I will be revealing the busy detailed of my life which will hopefully make you say, "Thank God, I am where I am". Bye for now.
