As you know, my children are moving into a scary age where they need me like a five yr old one day and they are showing me the ways of the world the next! This leaves me confused trying to determine my sense of self as well. How do I fit into their lives now? As they gain independence, I do too, so how does that change things in our family? Trying to find your sense of self when so many factors around you change so quickly isn't so easy! Maybe that is why we have to learn to be as flexible as possible, that way we won't miss too many opportunities along the way. You make many wonderful points, some I never thought of so I thank you for being brave and putting your thoughts out there for those of us who are a little more apprehensive!<br />love you -<br />Aunt JulieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4386176797312536980.post-32224858444439086292009-10-02T23:12:11.584-07:002009-10-02T23:12:11.584-07:00What a great post!

There's an ability to reflect on your thoughts - once that archive starts growing - can really put things in perspective and serve as a reference for where you are and where you've been. And, of course, feedback, commiseration, and support are added bonuses here in the blog world :) Thanks for the shout-out ... and thanks for pointing my toward The Happiness Project ... good stuff!MommyBrainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16329570417513248245noreply@blogger.com
