What I really mean
Several times yesterday while shopping with my very dear friend Kate I made the comment, "and that is why I won't be having children." I realized on the drive home that that statement is no where near the actual truth of what it was that I was trying to say. But don't worry, I am sure that Kate already understands this about me. She has a way about her.What I really mean when I say things like that is that I cannot imagine adding to my life at this pint because I am so very content where I am. I love this stage of my life! Thank the Lord because I was really starting to worry that I wouldn't like being anything but a student. As it turns out teaching is, as I had hoped, much more about learning that teaching. Anyway, the point is that I love my life. The right now. And right now, I wouldn't want to change a thing. Not by adding a boy. Or kids. Or the "perfect" job. Nope. Nada. I like things just the way that they are.
And I dream about the future. I know that change will come. And I look forward to that, but not right now, now I am happy to be here. I want to fully take in this stage of my life before I move on to the next scene. Get it?
