Everyone has those moments... Those "what is life all about" moments...
It feels as though mine have been lasting for an extended amount of time.
Is this how we stay passionate and appreciative or how we feel frustrated and overwhelmed?
I feel all of the above... I'm "appreciatively overwhelmed"---
1. Grad School
I don't know whose idea it was to make it socially acceptable to work a FULL time job and complete immense amounts of homework, paper writing, research and classes... Who ever the person was, I hate them. You feel less than adequate when you're exhausted after work and class even before you begin homework and always the work you "take home"...
2. 20 somethings
Everyone and their Grandmother knows that every nice young lady gets married and starts having babies once you're "20 something". Well for those of us who are "socially delayed" because we spend all of our free time in professors offices or in the research library this age requirement seems quite overwhelming. When I think of acquiring more responsibility it makes my insides feel like I'm at sea. So although all nice young ladies have settled down and have their 2.5 kids some of us would appreciate just a bit more time ;)
3. Family
"The family. A strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together." ~Erma Bombeck
I could not pray for a more caring family, their love and concern are astonishing.
...8 sisters & 2 brothers...
When we're together we are loud, crazy, nerdy, hyper, immature, impulsive and so much fun!
