Just Thinking

Today, my first meeting in two and 1/2 years. Finally realizing that I want something more out of this life. I want something more out of this career. Patience is the key. I'm too close to graduating from college and got a lot of plans of stuff I want to do this year. A friend questioned my decision about not wanting to attend my step-daughter's graduation. Come on what do you think?

I mean, my boys are 1st grade and kindergarten and having to ask them to sit still through such a lengthy program and my stepdaughter only gets 10 tix. I'm sure her mom has family she'd like to attend and with her mom, her dad, her three grandmothers, her brother and an aunt or uncle here and there, for me to request 5 tix is rude. Besides that's time I could spend in Half Moon Bay introducing my boys to the ocean. I miss the ocean. I miss driving down i-80 in Emeryville looking out across the Bay. There's this one spot where you can see three bridges - San Rafael, Golden Gate and the Bay Bridge. It's amazing.

Oh, let me tell you about church. I blew. Ohmigawd. I sung "Jesus Keep Me Near the Cross" and it just made me weep. For the last 4 years I've wanted to sing that song and finally God blessed me with the opportunity. I am so thankful for this life I live.

Okay, I want your thoughts on my decision to forego the high school graduation. Keep in mind, the boys are 5, 6 and 6.

Go with your first instinct about it and then don't second guess yourself. And you don't have to justify your decision to anyone. Do what your heart tells you. If it says, don't go, then don't go. Simple. Why do we beat ourselves up for going against others' wishes? Hmmmm... We wouldn't expect them to go against their desires just for us. I guess. LOL
