My First

     In life we have so many firsts like your first day of school, first kiss, first time flying.  I realized today, as my child went on his first big field trip without me, that I needed to get a life.  I am sitting here obsessed with how my 10-year-old child is doing 2.5 hours away on a 12-hour field trip without his mommy.  I definitely need to learn a little bit about letting go and learn to create more balance in my life.  I love reading other people's blogs so I thought to myself, why not me?  If anything it will satisfy my need to be creative and encourage me to do more for myself.  I love having a goal and also documenting my journey in life. 

Quote for the day:

“Perhaps there could be no joy on this planet without an equal weight of pain to balance it out on some unknown scale.”
