Balancing motherhood and myself.
I am now home, again, if "home" means the place where your name is on the property deed. If "home" is the geographical real estate where I feel most at peace and happy, than, sadly, I am not at home, but merely moving through time and space, content to share my journey along side those I cherish. However, I am now back in California where my husband has a busy job (amazingly, still in the newspaper business) and my children are each, excitedly, just about embark on their next school year. It is September: A time of new #2 pencils, new outfits, and crisp, empty composition books. A time of rebirth and beginnings. And, it's time for me to decide how I plan to balance what it is I want for myself, too, right now. While on the road for the past few weeks I temporarily broke my addiction to my computer. Stepping away from losing myself to the seductive escape of needing to find just the right word made me realize something that I've always known deep down.
