I started school this week. I've always wanted to go to college. But grades and time and money prevented me before. Now, in my 30's, I'm going to a university. I'm really doing it. It's crazy and exhausting but oh so fulfilling right now.Nellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01856455359076926279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047346872529008758.post-30409923357405286002011-05-02T02:56:53.546-04:002011-05-02T02:56:53.546-04:00I LOVE this!

And I just LOVE this idea! So great! So necessary!

I read more, play the violin more, and write more. Things I would like to do more of - sew more, go more places (travel more - WITH the family), and garden more (although as the weather warms up, I'm doing more of this, too - we have baby grass growing in the backyard where we put down seed a few weeks ago! And tulips EVERYWHERE - apparently two owners before us had a thing for tulips...)Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01667724269493668949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047346872529008758.post-86643459617630614492011-04-29T18:36:56.898-04:002011-04-29T18:36:56.898-04:00I am doing something similar in May!

I am going to do a Picture A Day in May (because I love to take picture of random things that no one cares about but me...), I am going to do silly posts I have been wanting to do for a long time (that I am sure will only entertain me_, and I am going to work on a list of projects that I have been wanting to do but have been totally neglecting because of...life in general getting in the way! Great minds think a like. :)I have to say that yours will be much more interesting than mine though because you are one of the most creative people I have ever come across!!!! I can't wait to see what you come up with in your journey!

I tried to tell a friend that I was struggling because I don't really know what I like to do anymore, and she got so upset at me. I tried to explain that I really do love the opportunity to be a SAHM, but that I want to develop a talent -- something that's just me.<br /><br />Thank you so much for saying that's okay. Good luck in your hunt!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03509169727773615479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047346872529008758.post-65562853410545972112011-04-29T17:37:46.805-04:002011-04-29T17:37:46.805-04:00I'm jealous, especially of the conga yoga and ...I'm jealous, especially of the conga yoga and the stalking of celebrities.

I am way more in touch with my pre-child self than I was during the hands-on mothering years. That's why I'm writing so much again. <br /><br />I see a lot of the drive, energy, and creative ability that characterize you at work here on your blog, Jocelyn. So I suspect you are exercising more of the "old you" than you perhaps appreciate (just in different ways).<br /><br />Having said that, I like your idea. All mothers need to stay in touch with who they are, at their centers.<br /><br />=)Susan Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16049586085703324088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047346872529008758.post-34940555009755839352011-04-29T16:22:16.485-04:002011-04-29T16:22:16.485-04:00It's been so long - I don't even know that...It's been so long - I don't even know that I would know where to start!
