what to write about...
It's the eve of Christmas Eve. Wow, where in the world did this year go. I will say that it will go out with a bang. This year I got to see some old high school friends. Actually it was tonight. So much fun. I have to be honest with you that I wasn't sure if I was going to go but I am glad that I did. I got to see Amy, her sister Jennifer, Missie, Shari, Karen and Heather along with their kids. (Missie and Jennifer don't have any). I haven't seen some of them since high school graduation or just a couple years after. Next year I will be out of high school 15 years. Yikes! So you now know how long it's been.
I didn't want to go because I thought, I really don't have much in common with them as they are married with kids (well not all. After talking with them, I realized that I have more in common with them and have similar struggles and desires.
Talking with Missie helped me realize that I do have a great life. I know that I do but sometimes I forget (and I forget easily). She is still single and have been dating the same guy for 4 yrs. Neither of them are ready to get married. She's happy were she is at. Other things she talked about I will not discuss but it was like a breath of fresh air. Yes, you can be in your 30's, still single, not even close to be getting married or have kids, have some issues in the relationship and still have a fulfilling life and relationship.
Life is too short to wish for things you don't have. Be happy with what you have, Kim. I am, I really am. I guess it is hard being patient and not knowing the future. I guess that is why they say life is a journey. It's the not destination, its the ride.
hmm... I guess I did have something to write about...
Glad you went to see your friends.
ReplyDeleteBeing married and having kids is lovely most of the time-but very hard at times too! I know it will happen for you when the time is right-but for now I'm glad you are enjoying your life and trying to live in the moment.
Love you!☺
Kim- I am so glad you came. It was wonderful to see you. I think we all had reservations about getting together. For you, it was the 'family and kids' thing and possibly not having anything in common anymore...for me it was other things. And I am sure everyone else at the party had their own reason to not come. I am just glad we all did.
ReplyDeleteBeing married and having kids is wonderful. When I was single..thats all I wanted. And now I know, it IS wonderful... but so was single life and I wish I knew that THEN..when I was single. Oh the freedom of going wherever I wanted... sleeping all day... not having to cook dinner.. I could go on and on... (I could also go on and on about the joys of a family, dont get me wrong!) Sometimes I think I want what I dont have. I need to enjoy what I have. Hey, that might be a good resolution!
Anyway..Thanks for this blog entry.
