Split In So Many Directions!

It’s already the beginning of August and I’m starting to panic over all the “new-ness” in my life. Watching Madeleine thrive in Toronto and getting Gabriella ready to move to New York, I’m wondering what the heck I’m going to do with my life!
I am looking forward to being an “empty-nester”. I mean really, Joe and I have done our best for the girls. We provided them a solid base to follow their dreams and we support them the best that we can. They are both strong, independent women. I know that this is the next step for them and the natural progression of life. I know that we have set them up to succeed and fly out of the nest…..
But (and it’s a big BUUUUUUUTTTTTT) what about ME? and Joe? and Joe and Me? and teaching yoga? teaching ballet? working? traveling? It really is an awesome time to know that I can reinvent my whole life right now. AGAIN…… or even if it stays status quo, it’s pretty good.
I have a great job as a Pediatric Nurse, job-share none the less. I teach yoga, I get to practice yoga again! (that’s another blog…) I teach ballet, I get to work on my Cecchetti teacher’s certificates. And I have a few trips planned for the rest of this year and into next year. Pretty good.
I feel like I did after high school. The possibilities were endless, I could take my life in any direction and it would be RIGHT. It’s scary to define yourself when life is not a straight line, it’s a scribbly knotted mess!
I think that Joe and I will take up macramé. We might be able to make sense of the knots.
Love who you are,
Ena
If you have any suggestions or comments I’d love to hear them!
