Some of you trusty readers may be in a pickle like me. And by "pickle like me" I mean, you may not be sure what you want out of life, what you're looking for, what will satisfy you right now at this point. I found this article on CNN this evening and thought maybe it could help you if you're looking for the road to some answers.
Now of course this article didn't immediately make me feel better about the "unknown" of my current situation but it sure as hell made things easier for me to map out lists of what I wanted, which directions I wanted to go, etc. I hope it can do the same for you.
Isn't it silly how creating lists makes you feel so much better? Maybe it's just the Type A in me that I've been trying to suppress lately but lists make me feel light and happy. Oh the simple pleasures in life.
On a similar but different note, I had told my mother I had quit my job the day I did it, when everything was still new and scary. For being the logical and responsible person that she is, she took it quite well. So thanks mom, for not chewing me a new ass for quitting my job without a back-up plan. I'm not sure about you, but I place my mother's opinion at the very top of my list so although I knew I was doing something she wouldn't agree with, I had to do it for me but still wanted her support, so again, thanks mom!
She also said something else to me after she heard I got a serving job, something along the lines of "I'm sure you'll be much happier than I was [in my 20's]"; this really meant a lot to me because she spent her 20's raising me, working A TON to save money, working and building on her marriage, and establishing herself in so many ways in order to provide me (and my future siblings) a comfortable and stable life.
It really bums me out that she had to grow up so fast, but I'm incredibly thankful that she is supporting me in this time of chaos and unknown and I hope she gets a little pleasure in living through my experiences and photos. After all, I wouldn't have half the opportunities without her hard work and perseverance...again, I just can't thank my mom enough for everything she's done, you're a real peach Maja!
Okay, it's Sunday which is my day to head to the grocery store and pick up some goodies for this week. Fellow blogger Pudgy to Paleo has me thinking a lot about what I put into my body so I'm going to try and stay away from wheat this week (after I make latkes today, terrible I know!). I'll let you know how it goes and post any good recipes I find.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Love&Luck
