Have you ever felt a sudden burst of energy after a period of activity induced fatigue or just plain exhaustion? All of a sudden you are ready to really move when just moments before you thought you might collapse. If so, then you know what it feels like to catch your "second wind." This is the thought behind how I feel about my life today. Recent aspects of my life started to slow me down and wear me out. The Facts: I am no longer a young woman; I am nearing my 40Th birthday. I am not a new wife; I have been married just shy of 20 years. I am not an inexperienced mother; I am now nurturing teenagers. Life as I have always known it...is different. Different Good some days and Different Bad some days. I had become quite settled with things like my routine and purpose when I started to realize that "times were a changing". The most altering of all..... my babies just aren't babies anymore. Whew.....Just when I thought I was not keeping up with my shifting world it happened and thank God it happened....I caught my second wind! Friday, September 18, 2009
Catching my Second Wind
Have you ever felt a sudden burst of energy after a period of activity induced fatigue or just plain exhaustion? All of a sudden you are ready to really move when just moments before you thought you might collapse. If so, then you know what it feels like to catch your "second wind." This is the thought behind how I feel about my life today. Recent aspects of my life started to slow me down and wear me out. The Facts: I am no longer a young woman; I am nearing my 40Th birthday. I am not a new wife; I have been married just shy of 20 years. I am not an inexperienced mother; I am now nurturing teenagers. Life as I have always known it...is different. Different Good some days and Different Bad some days. I had become quite settled with things like my routine and purpose when I started to realize that "times were a changing". The most altering of all..... my babies just aren't babies anymore. Whew.....Just when I thought I was not keeping up with my shifting world it happened and thank God it happened....I caught my second wind!

I love this first post and all its symbolism. I am 40 as well, though not with teenagers thanks to a derailed life and then a fresh new start much later in life :). Looking forward to reading more!! :)
