Success!

After four hours of trying to make this blog work and not interact with my husbands blog I have come to determine my time and efforts a SUCCESS!

Tonight we are going to have dinner with a friend from work to celebrate her 35th birthday. It has suddenly occurred to me that I have friends that are 35. Hey wait a minute, I am 32. When the heck did this happen? It seems like not too terribly long ago I was still in my early twenties trying to decide what I wanted to do with my life. I threw around being a full time political activist and moving to BC with a 2 year old child to do this, or spending my days in the jungle observing gorillas. My idealistic plans turned into a degree in sociology. And as for what I want to do with my life well, I am still deciding on that.

The realization that I am no longer in my 20's and I am approaching middle age is in some sense relaxing. I have made a few successes in my life:

- I have had three beautiful children
- Married the most amazing man
- Graduated from University
- Have a career where I actually feel important and useful

There are somethings however that I have yet to accomplish:

- World Peace
- End to Poverty
- Travel outside of North America

All things to come in time I am sure. I guess I should get on that world peace issue though instead of being consumed by my need for consumption and maintaining a certain standard of life for myself. I'll let you know if I ever figure out how to start this one!

Take care!
