Sometimes we think if we don't make a change in life, don't "rock the boat", upset anyone, or take a stand, life will be one of ease. I can almost guarantee that even if you live your life simply existing, you aren't doing yourself any favors...... only hiding.

I've heard so many who believe the cause of their troubles is a result of actions, when indecision may be the real instigator. On this World Peace Day, it seems there is anything but it in the world. It is however, possible to position yourself in a place of peace in the soul and fight your fears.....

I'm determining as things in life seem to be settling, it's time for me to find a better work/life balance, LOL. More peace. I never wanted to have work control my life, but inevitably it can fill my schedule, period. That is no fun:/ How easy it is so get out of balance and peace disrupted.......

I guess it comes back to taking, and keeping control of my own life. That is a novel idea huh? For a woman who has played a supportive role, as many do, I am figuring it out as I go smile emoticon And kind of enjoying it......... always needing to guard against getting into old roles....... My instincts react.

There are things I'd love to speak about but need to protect some privacy at this point in my life.

Serious senior stuff has progressed for my youngest, and a few visits are being planned. I do feel a bit overwhelmed, and no matter who is in my life, I do feel on my own in it. Perhaps if the kids were younger and I was walking through this, there would be more hands on opportunities.

With their ages now, it is like I am pretty much a single mom in this process. I can't send my spouse in my place, or take the trip I can't make; I need to do it. I know I'm not alone..... but I am giving a voice to all who have been there, done that and know what I'm talking about......

When a season comes so quickly, as Fall has for me, everything under the sun has its time. "Time for peace"...... in my life.

Nite.
